Together: Our Giving Pledge Campaign for 2025
October 13-27, 2024
May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:5–6
Our annual Giving Campaign for 2025 kicks off October 13 and runs through 27. This year’s stewardship theme, “Together,” invites us to reflect on our connection with one another as the Body of Christ, a movement of people following Jesus.
St. Andrew’s has a long history of coming together in times of difficulty and hardship and in times of joy and celebration. For over 130 years, the Holy Spirit has woven thousands of lives together in this faith community as we have fed the hungry, welcomed the stranger, and been transformed by God. During our Together campaign, all are encouraged to reflect on how we can give of our time, talent, and treasure to celebrate and share God’s love together as a community of faith and followers of Christ.
Pledge commitment packets will be available to be picked up before and after worship October 13. Packets that are not picked up will be mailed home. Our ingathering will be October 27, when we will celebrate after worship with a festive reception.
May we give generously and joyfully together so that St. Andrew’s can continue to grow in Christ’s love and make that love visible in this church, this community, and this world.
RESPONDING TO RECENT HURRICANES
Click Here for Updated News & Guidance from Our Diocese
As our siblings in Florida assess the damage from their second hurricane in 13 days, and we continue to see the impact of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina, we understand the depth of desire to help. Please explore our “Ways to Help with Hurricane Relief Efforts“ webpage at the link above for updates and new information on ways you can help. This page is being updated regularly and includes links for prayer, giving, and other ways to help.
Prayer: Those in affected regions are overwhelmed and exhausted. They need your ongoing prayers. Episcopal Relief & Development offers prayer resources that may be helpful.
Financial Gifts: Having financial resources to respond is one of the most critical needs. Today, the best way to help is to provide responding agencies with the financial resources they need. We encourage donations to the seven affected dioceses in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, the Gulf Coast, and Florida; Episcopal Relief & Development; and the American Red Cross. Links to all of these organizations are provided on the diocese’s hurricane relief page.
We encourage you to visit this page often to stay up to date.
LIVING COMPASS CLASS FOR PARENTS
Sundays through Oct. 27, 11:15 a.m. (Library)
Grounded in Scripture, the tradition of the Church, and the sharing our own stories, this course is designed to support participants as they seek to live the abundant life God intends for them. We often say that you have to put on your own life vest before you can help another, but it is easy to lose sight of our own well-being when we are actively parenting. The Living Compass is a model that invites us to attend to our mind, heart, strength, and soul. In a small group setting, we’ll create a space of rest, contemplation, deep conversation, and compassion, while learning to better care for ourselves as we care for our kids. The class runs concurrently with our Confirmation for Youth course, and childcare will be available. We will also be using this Living Compass model for our senior high EYC in the spring. Facilitated by Anna Taylor and Rev. Ginny Inman.
WALK IN LOVE: EPISCOPAL 101
Come Learn about the Episcopal Church
Sundays at 11:15 a.m. (Cloister), Oct. 13-27
Are you new or new-ish to the Episcopal Church? Or maybe you’ve been here a while but still have questions or are looking for a way to deepen your faith? Join us for Episcopal 101, a class on the basics of the Episcopal Church. All are welcome—no matter how long or short a time you’ve called the Episcopal Church home—or if you aren’t sure yet if it feels like home. We will explore the faith, beliefs, history, structure, and practices of the Episcopal Church, with plenty of space to ask questions! Led by Spencer Musick, Rev. Ginny Inman, and others. Those seeking to be confirmed, received, or reaffirmed by the Bishop on November 10 will need to attend a meeting on October 6 at 11:15 a.m. in the Cloister.
Feed and Be Fed—Corner Market and One Step Further Food Pantry
Saturdays, 8 AM – 12 noon, on the corner of W. Market and Kensington Streets
Worldwide, outdoor markets have flourished during the pandemic. That has certainly been the case here in Greensboro. Since moving to our parking lot, the Corner Market has welcomed new vendors and customers. The relocation could not have gone better, and the market is providing a connection point that’s open to everyone in our community, a connection that is so vital for many of us during this time—and all the time. Follow the Market’s Facebook page, or subscribe to the newsletter on their website for the weekly list of vendors.
This food pantry, started at St. Andrew’s, now is housed at Definition Church in Greensboro (1806 Merritt Dr., in the building behind the main building) and St. Stephen AME Zion Church in High Point (1012 Leonard Ave.). The pantry needs volunteers for a variety of tasks including deliveries and making phone calls (which can be done from home). If you can help, please contact the director, Susan Cox, at scox@onestepfurther.com.
