JOIN US FOR WORSHIP SERVICE SUNDAYS AT 9:30 A.M.
TOSTADA AND TACO BOWL LUNCH – Join us for a delicious Tostada and Taco Bowl Lunch on Sunday, October 25th, following worship! The lunch is sponsored by the Worship Committee, and all food will be provided. No RSVP is needed—just come, enjoy a meal, and share fellowship with us!
STEWARDSHIP 2027 – The stewardship theme for 2027 is "We are Blessed to be a Blessing." We encourage everyone in the congregation, member and non-member, to give of their time, talents, and treasurers to further the work of God here at St. Andrew Community Presbyterian Church. If you are on our mailing list, you will receive stewardship letters and a pledge card in the mail. There are additional pledge cards available in the Narthex and the church office. Please place pledge cards in the offering box or mail them to the church. Pledges help our elders make decisions about next year's budget. We hope to receive all pledge cards by December 13th. Please help us be a blessing to others.
REFORMATION SUNDAY – is Sunday, October 25th. St. Andrew will have a service to honor our heritage including Bagpiper Joel Daniel to accompany our worship experience. If you have any Scottish heritage please show your colors! Coffee Hour will feature scones in honor of the day.
SUMMER IN THE CONFESSIONS – Our denomination is known as a "confessional church," meaning we hold to the truths of both Scripture, and the historic witness of the Church as affirmed in 11 confessional statements. Next we’ll explore The Confession of 1967, and The Belhar Confession. If you want some "light reading" this summer, (!!) you might like to look at these as we study them. There are copies available in the Library, or you can read them online for a free download to a laptop at: https://pcusa.org/resource/book-confessions
DEACON'S FUND – Many people are struggling with the basics of food and shelter. Here at St. Andrew, we try to help both our members and our neighbors through our Deacon’s Fund. We buy gas, and grocery cards to give to people knocking on our office door asking for help, and to assist our members with a small financial gift if they have an unexpected need. The Deacon’s Fund comes solely from contributions from our church family. If you’re able, please help in serving our church and community in this special way. Contributions should include “Deacon’s Fund” in the memo. Thank you!
ONGOING COLLECTION FOR ST. JOHN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH: We will continue monthly to collect protein items for St. John's Episcopal Church's community food distribution program. The collection box will remain in the Narthex for your donations of canned meats, beans and peanut butter, and the committee will bring the donations we receive to St. John. If you would like the help with packing food for the St. John’s Episcopal Church Ministry, this happens on the fourth Thursday of every month from 1-3 pm, at 45319 Deglet Noor St, Indio. Thank you for helping our neighbors.
DONATIONS TO OUR CHURCH: The Bank of America has a new policy stating that all checks must be made out to our correct business name. When making a donation to our church in the form of a check, you must now write: St. Andrew Community Presbyterian Church. No abbreviations or other forms of our name will be allowed. To avoid this, we recommend that you make donations through Zelle using our finance email: standrewfinance1@gmail.com. You could also set up Bill Pay through your bank but be sure to use the full name of the church as seen above. Vanco is another option, but keep in mind that Vanco removes 2% of every donation before we receive it. Thank you for your understanding.
