The Mission and Outreach Committee helps St. Andrew’s to serve those around us locally, nationally and internationally. On the international level the congregation voted through the budget process to donate during 2024, $22,150 to Presbyterian Sharing and $1,500 to Presbyterian World Service & Development (PWS&D). The 2024 fundraising campaign in February for Presbyterian World Service & Development was focused on donating to the areas of greatest need. Both the humanitarian needs in the countries of Afghanistan and Gaza were highlighted. More information can be found in the Link and TWASA articles.
On the local level a number of Mission & Outreach events, fundraisers and programs occur throughout the year. Under the umbrella of M&O is Camp VIP, Cedar Tree Ministries, Journey for Hope, Mustard Seed Street Church Thanksgiving food drive, Muffins for AA and vegetarian meals for Inclusive Christians, Open Church and Meditation Hour, Share the Joy of Christmas (Mustard Seed Christmas Hampers) and The Gift of Christmas Music and Carol Sing and Music Outreach.
We would love to have you join our committee or participate in an area that may be of particular interest. Feel free to email us if you are interested in learning more about the Mission & Outreach Committee at the church office email.
