Please join us for delicious food and fellowship from 9:30 – 10:45 a.m. in the Legacy Hall!

During these hot days of summer, it’s refreshing to look forward to the Church Women United’s Human Rights celebration on Friday, September 12, at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church.

The program, with the theme “Help Others at All Times,” begins at 6:45. Kathy Powderly of HARC (Hagerstown Area Religious Council) will be the keynote speaker. The dinner begins at 6 pm at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church. Reservations are due by September 5, to Tammy Coyle.

Join St. Andrew Deacons and help save lives at a community blood drive. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. That’s why we are on a mission to help save lives by hosting a blood drive on Tuesday, September 9th from 12:30 pm to 6 pm in the Legacy Hall. Please help spread the word to your family, friends and co-workers.

The community is invited to take part in this special event and donate blood for hospital patients in our neighborhoods and across the nation. The need for blood is constant, but only 3 percent of the U.S. population donates. By rolling up a sleeve, donors can play a critical role in the treatment of accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease.

If you would like some flyers to advertise the event, please let Jen know. Drive Details:

Mark your calendars for September 7th. We will be celebrating the great year that we had at Sunday School this past year as well as kick off a brand new year of Sunday School. Everyone is invited to the breakfast in the Legacy Hall at 9:30 a.m. We will be treated to a delicious breakfast hosted by the Fellowship Committee. After breakfast we will hear all about the exciting plans for the new year of Sunday School. We will be recognizing and promoting students at this time. We also will have a time to recognize new students who would like to join our Sunday School for the 2025-2026 year. After the program the teachers will be in their classroom for an Open House for all students and parents.

We will be having our Back to School Picnic and Prayer next Sunday, August 17th, starting at 4:00 pm in the Legacy Hall. We will gather all students and teachers and surround them with prayer for a great and successful new school year. After a time of prayer, we will be enjoying a wonderful picnic-style meal hosted by the Fellowship Committee. After dinner, we will be having outside games. Kids, bring a towel, as we may be having a water slide if the weather is nice.

There will also be Bingo inside with lots of prizes for everyone of all ages. At the end of the evening, we will be having a water balloon toss for everyone brave enough to be doused by a water balloon. We hope you can attend. This is a great event for everyone of all ages. Please sign up if you plan on attending. Thank you!

We are getting so excited about V.B.S. coming soon. The theme this year is Magnified. How can God be magnified in our lives so that we can live a fulfilled life and He may be glorified through our lives.

If you have not signed up to volunteer there is a sign up sheet in the parlor. There are many areas we still need volunteers. We need assistants in each class, especially with the younger grades. Ideally we would like 2 assistants for each classroom. Please stop by and volunteer in an area that you would like.

Snacks are a big part of V.B.S. Each snack is directly linked to the lesson that is being taught. A devotion about the snack/lesson is read while the students are enjoying their snack. We get quite creative with the snacks each year. There is a sign up sheet for the snacks if you would like to donate some snack items. Please bring them in and label them V.B.S. snacks. You can put them on the back counter in the office or in the kitchen. Some of the items are very specific and are not on the sign up sheet. If you would like to place a monetary donation for snacks, please use the envelope provided at the sign up stand. Place your envelope in the offering plate or directly on the secretary’s desk. Thank you so much for making snack time such a special time for the kids.

Each year we have a canteen, a V.B.S. store for the kids to purchase items that they have earned using their tokens given to them by their teachers. If you would like to donate any items for the canteen, please place them in a bag marked “V.B.S. Canteen” and put on the back counter in the office. Used items are fine as long as they are clean and in good shape. Thank you for making this such a fun time for all the kids. Please register as soon as possible for V.B.S. We are getting curriculum, crafts, and t-shirts ready to go. Registration forms are in each week’s bulletin. Please fill it out and place it in the offering plate, on the secretary’s desk, or in the basket that is located in the parlor by the newsletters. There are Guest Registration forms at the sign up stand. Please take some and invite your friends. Return the forms when they are complete.

We will collect a special Memorial Day offering today for Heal Our Patriots.
