Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, godparents, friends,

You promised a child you would see to it that they grew up knowing Jesus and support them in their Christian Journey.

Here is your chance to get them started in a new way.

This Sunday, we begin a new phase in Children's Ministry. Rock U., our Children's Formation Ministry, will have its first Large Group Event for children through 5th grade and the adults who care about them. We will introduce the theme of the next month to children and adults who will accompany them.

All be here in the Parish Hall at 9:14 am.

Breakfast will be served at 10:00am

See you there!

Dear Friends,

Malawi is called the Warm Heart of Africa. Malawi is also one of the poorest countries in the world.

The Diocese of Southern Malawi is the companion diocese of the Diocese of Texas.

The Rt. Rev. James Tengatenga is the Bishop of Southern Malawi and lived with Jim and Christine Liberatore in Seminary (Jim taught him to drive and they were his "parents" when he got married.)

Bishop James and our Bishop, Andy, have encouraged each church in the Diocese of Texas to have a relationship with Southern Malawi.

In late July, Jim+ has asked Debbie Allensworth to take a pilgrimage to Malawi and work with James and his wife, Josie, to develop ways to connect St. Andrew's and Southern Malawi. She is going with other people from other churches who are also going on a pilgrimage.

A pilgrimage is travel with the focus on understanding and opening up to the Spirit. The vestry and staff of St. Andrew's support her pilgrimage.

As you can imagine, this is a great undertaking. As your Rector, I ask that you pray for Debbie and her pilgrimage and consider supporting her, in any way, financially (mark checks in memo area "Malawi.") She is personally paying for part of the trip and using other money she has earned or is part of her employment package.

Thank you for your support. Ask Debbie about her trip and let her know you are supporting her in this. She will tell us about it on August 22nd in worship so mark your calendar.

Jim+

Dear St. Andrew's Family,

I wanted to keep you up-to-date on the schedule for summer Christian education at St. Andrew's. We are very excited about what we have coming up for Rock U (Toddlers & 2's - 5th Grade) for the fall. We have some amazing plans and I think all of our families will really enjoy the new format.

In order to get ready for this kick-off, we will utilize some of the time this summer for planning and some other time for trying out our new format. So, here is the summer schedule for Rock U:

June 13, 20, & 27 - No classes - meet in the Parish Hall for breakfast

July 4th - No classes - Teacher training for the fall at 9:15 in Room 106

July 11th - Large Group Family Event-Parents & Children meet in Parish Hall at 9:15 - YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!

July 18, 25, August 1, 8 Small Group classes for children Preschool-5th Grade (Toddlers & 2's will have some fun events in the nursery)

August 15 - Small Group Classes for Preschool - 5th Grade (t's & 2's nursery) Parent's meeting in Parish Hall at 9:15

August 22 - Rally Day

August 29th - Fall Classes begin

The Youth schedule will be slightly different than this one - they have some more events planned throughout the summer. Be on the lookout for information on that soon.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 281-485-3843 or debbie@standrewspearland.org .

Thank you!  Debbie Allensworth
