First of all, a huge thank you to the congregation for all the support at Youth BBQ last Sunday. We had a record year in terms of funds raised and we greatly appreciate the support this congregation has for our youth program. We certainly couldn't do it without you all!
This Sunday, we get to recognize and affirm another group of our wonderful youth, our confirmands! The six students who will be receiving their confirmation in the church this Sunday have worked hard this year, along with their mentors, to study and understand the tenets of what we believe as reformed believers and why we do the things we do in worship and through the ministries of the church. Last night, the youth presented their faith statements to the session; writing, speaking, creating and dancing their representations of their own beliefs. We are so proud of who these confirmands are and the work they have put in to further their knowledge and beliefs with their faith.
2016 Confirmands (Mentors):
Trinity Ball (Leigh Kitchens), James Fite (Joel Hays), Gunnison Hays (Jonathon Fite), Jordan Ishee (Stephanie Raesz), Jonathan Luevano (Chuck Stoughton), Nsoh-nya Tako (Brandi Schoel)

Vacation Bible School Registration Now Open
June 27-July 1, 9am-12pm
Vacation Bible School registration is now open at
www.saint-andrew.com/vbs. This year's curriculum is titled "Surf Shack: Catch the Wave of God's Amazing Love!" At the "Surf Shack" kids encounter God's awesomeness through Bible stories and learn how we're meant to experience the adventure each day. The children will study stories of the Bible that will teach us how to experience God's amazing love, explore God's mission for our lives, encounter powerful water stories from the Bible, and discover ways to live out God's amazing love. We are all looking forward to a fun week!
The children will be provided with a snack during the week. Please send your children in clothes that can withstand paint stains, grass stains, energetic activity, and survive. We will run, dance, play, sing, paint, experiment, and eat, and we want your children to be able to do all of these activities without having to worry about keeping clothes clean. For our preschoolers, it is always a good idea to pack an extra set of clothes in case of an accident.
Don't forget to bring your mission items!
We will be donating water bottles, bug repellent, sunscreen, deodorant (male & female), disposable razors, and toothbrushes
to Our Daily Bread - the soup kitchen located at St. Andrew. Our neighbors at Our Daily Bread need extra water for the hot summers and food to keep them healthy.
