Breakfast Is Served Sunday,
July 11
Fellowship Hall, 8:45-9:45
Join us in Fellowship Hall next Sunday,
July 11th, when the men of the session will be preparing a full
breakfast for all of us. Included on the menu are scrambled eggs, sausage,
biscuits and gravy, as well as truly awesome pancakes flipped by Larry Monroe.
Remember that the breakfast will take the place of Sunday school on July 11th.  July 11th is also Sneaker Day, when the Community
Outreach committee is asking us to wear our sneakers to church (think casual
dress, not suit 'n tie). They'd like us to
bring a new pair of shoes for the Apple Tree project, which serves school
children ranging from kindergarteners to seniors in high school. See you the morning of July 1lth! |

General Assembly. The group will be returning the following Saturday, July 10.
Please keep them in your prayers as they travel and serve.
It's NOT Too Late! You still have time
to sign up for the annual high school youth (completed 8th grade

help a low income child start the school year on the right foot this Fall. Remember to return the apple along with the
clothing. Our Daily Bread - St. Andrew's volunteer schedule
