Led by Patricia de Jong, this playful improv session will explore creativity, listening, and presence. No acting experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to laugh.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

All kids who are age 3 and have completed a year of preschool, and grades K through 5th are invited to grow in faith as they play, learn, sing, and explore their relationship with God. Join us at St. Andrew this summer for a week of fun in Rainforest Falls - Exploring the Nature of God... Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.  Register now: Text VBS2026 to the St. Andrew Text-to-Church number: 707-278-6024 and follow the prompts. We are also looking for lots of Volunteers! Can you be a Crew Leader, help with Decorations or Lead a Station? If you are available to help, let us know by registering as a volunteer: VBS Volunteers: Text VBSVOL to St. Andrew’s Text-to-church number (707-278-6024) and follow the prompts to let us know your availability! Connect with Kaitlyn Tinder, Director of Children and Youth Ministries for more information!

Lectio Divina (divine reading) is an ancient spiritual practice that helps us slow down and listen to God’s word from our hearts rather than our minds. We invite you to join St. Andrew Deacon Debbie Sweek three Fridays in August: 7, 14, and 21 at 9:30am to explore this practice together. Come for one or all three. Everyone is welcome!

PRODUCE AND BLOOM EXCHANGE

How does your garden grow? Please bring the fruits (and vegetables/flowers) of your labor to church on August 23 where they'll be shared with our Congregation. Everyone is welcome to take what you can eat. Did You Know? The Presbyterian Church USA Environmental mission is embedded under the Hunger mission umbrella? Food insecurity is a real and growing consequence of Climate Change. Honoring our commitment to local food insecurity, any left over produce from our Exchange will be donated to Unity Kitchen to help feed our neighbors. Gratefully, Your St Andrew Green Team

Church Activities

JOIN US FOR COFFEE AND CONVERSATION! We enjoy connecting as a church family and meeting new people—please join us for coffee after worship service each Sunday!  Our weekly coffee service is going "green"!  Since there are no compostable paper coffee cups available, we are now serving coffee in ceramic mugs. Enjoy your favorite coffee or tea then put your used cup in the designated area and the Coffee Team will put them in the dishwasher. If you accidentally take the mug with you, please return it (You are also more than welcome to bring your own mug!).

 

IT’S IMPORTANT TO FOSTER CONNECTIONS AS A CHURCH FAMILY! We invite and encourage everyone at our worship service to take a moment to introduce yourself and extend a warm welcome to someone you may not know yet. Each introduction not only enriches our worship experience but also contributes to the supportive environment we cherish at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church. Let's embrace this joyful opportunity together, knowing that every warm welcome can lead to meaningful relationships and spiritual growth for us all!
