Dear St. Andrew's Family & Friends,
Thank you all so much for your support of the St. Andrew's Year of Service. So many of you have come up with wonderful ideas of ways to serve your neighbors, community and those in need around the world. When we embarked on this journey I hoped many would be inspired to find somewhere to serve. What has truly impressed me, though, are the ideas coming from the congregation that allow others to become involved with acts of service as well. So far we have packed Care Packages for the Homeless, sent items to Mexico for children in need and for the next 2 weeks, we will be collecting reading materials for nursing homes and assisted living facilities in our area. None of this would have been possible without ideas from people just like you. So, if you have an idea, please share that with me or another member of the staff and we will see if we can find a way to make your service project a reality. Thank you all for your continued service to others. Please send in pictures so you can continue to inspire those around you. |
Meals on Wheels Serves Those In Need
 For over 20 years, community volunteers have been delivering fully prepared meals to senior citizens and the homebound in the Pearland area. It has allowed many individuals to remain independent in their own homes rather than having to move to a care facility.
St. Andrew's provides drivers for Meals on Wheels once every 8 weeks. We need two teams a day for a week to deliver meals. We are always looking for new members of our Meals on Wheels team either as a regularly scheduled driver or a substitute driver.

Helping Out At School
Kathy Balberg volunteered one day a week this past school year at Westwood Elementary to help Trinity and Camden's teachers (Mrs. Huckabee and Mrs. Countie). |
| Sponsoring Missionaries in the Dominican Republic
St. Andrew's is supporting Michael and April Floyd in their mission work in the Dominican Republic. Their work in theological education in the Caribbean region is very much needed and the financial support of St. Andrew's and many other individuals and congregations makes this work possible. The Liberatore family is one of the families supporting the Floyd's Ministry through financial contributions.
Michael and April are in their 3rd academic year in the region. If you would like to find out more about their ministry, please visit www.floydsinthedr.com where they post occasional updates. |
