Children's Worship Training Class

Journey of Faith 

We are offering a Children's Worship Training Class that began on Sunday, January 8th.  We welcome all elementary age children who have completed 1st grade.

 

This class meets during the worship hour and  is led by Dana Tate and Tara Brown. Your child may leave the sanctuary when the younger children leave for Children's Church after the Children's Sermon. You may pick up your child after worship from the last classroom on the left of the children's wing.

 

Contact Dana Tate who is teaching the class if you have any questions at dana0164@aol.com or 420-2334.

Prayer Vigil Planned for January 21st 

Prayer 

The Prayer and Nurture Team will hold a 12-hour Prayer Vigil in the sanctuary on Saturday, January 21, from 7 am - 7 pm.

 

A sign-up sheet is on the table in the Narthex for you to sign up to come and pray. There is no limit to the number of people who may sign up for each time slot nor to the number of time slots chosen by each person. It would be nice to have at least two people per time slot. We have materials for you to use for your prayers.

 

The Main Entrance door will be open during these hours for you to enter the sanctuary. Please use this door as St. Andrews is a Polling Place and the Republican Presidential Preference Primary voting will also be taking place during these hours in the multi-purpose room.

Souper Bowl of Caring

 

 

We are collecting cans of soup as well as money for the entire month of January and the first week of February for "Souper" Bowl Sunday.  I want us to "blow it out of the water" this year for our soup collection! 

 

Many people are in need of food, so PLEASE bring soup and money now until the Super Bowl. We will have a contest between the Super  Bowl Teams to see which team collects the most Soup. The soup will be donated to Greer Community Ministries.

 

Please place your cans of soup in the appropriate area in the Narthex. See Amy Jackson for more information.

Memorial Gift

Memory of 

A gift in memory of Rachel Tate has been placed in the sanctuary. It is a handcrafted bookcase holding Children's Bibles of varied reading levels and is located at the center back wall of the sanctuary behind the sound center.

 

It is hoped that each child will select one Bible on Sunday to read during the worship service and then replace it at the end of the service.

 

 Additional Bibles have been ordered and will be added when they arrive.
