ANGEL TREE BEGINS TODAY!  Angel Tree is a program where members of our congregation purchase and deliver Christmas gifts to prisoners’ children.  A Christmas tree is set up in the fellowship hall and gift requests will be available.

MEN'S BREAKFAST—There is no fixed agenda, no advance preparation, no dues, no discussion leader. Subjects are free flowing depending on what is brought up. Many subjects are Christian and others secular, discussed from a Christian point of view.  Attendance at these meeting require two things: 1) You are a man.  2) You attend when you want to (most are repeat attendees). This no-host breakfast meets every Wednesday 7AM - 8 AM at the Black Bear Diner, 201 W. Napa, Sonoma (at the Market Place).

ELECTRONIC GIVING
Would you find it helpful to have your offerings debited directly from your bank account as you probably do with other obligations? St. Andrew offers electronic giving for those of you who wish to have your contributions transferred electronically to the church’s account. If you travel, this is particularly helpful in keeping up with your intended offerings. One simple, easy to use authorization form can begin or change your electronic contribution amount. Contact the church office if you would like an authorization form or for more details.

YOU CAN SUPPORT THE BELL CHOIR by placing your empty ink cartridges in the designated box in the narthex.  DID YOU KNOW THAT A SET OF MUSIC for each piece played by Festival Bells costs approximately twenty cartridges?

AWAKE (The High School Youth Group) IS SPONSORING A USED CELL PHONE RECYCLE DRIVE as a fundraiser.  You can place used and unwanted cell phones and phone batteries in the collection basket in the Narthex.  Thank you for your support.
