Come Join Us For The
With the kindness of all St. Andrew’s parishioners who
donated the food necessary to make the Easter Baskets
possible, 70 Easter Baskets were distributed to families in
our area on April 3rd. We wish to thank again the
Gibbsboro School for their donations. And Girl Scout
Troop #30078 for their food drive in support of our
baskets. A big thank you to the MOPS group for their
Easter Bags of Candy. And to all who helped with the
collection, assembly and distributions of our Easter
Baskets. Your efforts achieved a remarkable level of
charity. Thank you all.
Poor Boxes
Please consider a donation, small or large, as a welcome
gift to the many in our Church community in need of
assistance. Our Church is most times the last resort for
those in need because of their hesitancy in asking for
help. We must always allow them to retain the dignity
they deserve. For the week of April 5th $159.77.
Human Concern’s Quarterly Meeting
Tuesday, April 28th at 7:30 PM in the Parish Center. If
you have been wanting to help in our parish and are not
sure where or what to do, there are many sub-committees
attached to Human Concerns. Please join us. You will
be pleasantly surprised at the many ways you can help.
Contact Chris Parry at 856-627-0597 or
[email protected].
MAY PROCESSION AND CROWNING!
Saturday, May 2nd
10:00 AM
We will begin with the Liturgy in the church.
Refreshments will follow in the Hall.
Stewardship
Nursing Home Companions
St. Andrew’s ministers to eight area nursing homes.
Many of the residents enjoy the visits of the volunteers
that go for a visit, usually on a weekly basis. If you have
some time in your day to afford a half hour or an hour to
one of the residents, give Chris Parry a call at 856-6270597 or [email protected]. She will give you the
name of a resident that would enjoy your company. The
residents we visit are well read, love to trade stories, very
spiritual and love our volunteers.
Stewards Give Back
“The community of believers was of one heart and mind,
and no one claimed that any of his possession was his
own, but they had everything in common. (Acts 4:32)
Stewardship calls us to recognize, just as the early
Christians did, that none of our possessions is our own.
All that we have—our health, our education, our skills, our
talents, and our livelihood—are gifts from God. How do
we give back of our time, talent and treasure to God?
