Zack and his merry crew will be serving breakfast on Sunday, Many of the current Breakfast Club members will be on vacation during much of the summer and new recruits are urgently needed. If you are interested in this much-appreciated ministry, please let Zack know. You will be rewarded with much gratitude from well-fed parishioners and the first serving of crispy bacon! See you in the kitchen. The final Sunday breakfast will be on August 27th.
2Saints Craft Boutique – calling all crafters! There has been discussion about having our own craft boutique fundraiser at the end of this year. In order to do so, we need parishioners (or your friends) to donate handmade items. All proceeds will be donated to the church. Any nice homemade gift ideas that you think would sell are welcome. Examples include: soaps/salt scrubs; candles; jams/jellies; greeting cards; knitted/crocheted/sewn items; jewelry; and holiday ornaments, to name a few. So, if you have a craft hobby and are interested in participating, please see Maria Rountree or drop a note in her box.

We all like to think that we’re responsible for our own success here at St. Andrew & St. Charles, but we couldn’t do it without each other. Fellow parishioners, neighbors, friends, and family attend and contribute to our events. It also includes the wonderful businesses who provide financial support for our fundraisers. The 2016 Casino Night was the most successful ever and that is due in no small measure to everyone who generously donated gift cards, merchandise, and tickets to events. Let’s take a moment and recognize each of the businesses for their recent donations. In a city filled with so many choices, please keep these businesses in mind when you eat, drink or shop nearby. Without their continued generosity, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to sustain our long-running food pantry program, annual holiday meals for low income residents of the Olive Branch Assisted Living facility, and a host of our other community ministry outreach efforts. They are truly valued members of our faith community.

Blessings in a Bag
On the first Sunday of each month, you will have an opportunity to make and/or take one, two, or more Blessings in a Bag. Please stop by the Parish Hall after the 8:00 or 10:00 service to get your bag(s). This is a wonderful way to help others in need and brighten someone's day! Also, donations are always accepted to help purchase and/or replenish our supplies. There is a list of the basic ingredients on the table with the supplies - feel free to take one and keep it with you when you go to the market. Ask Marsha Van Valkenburg or Monica Ward any questions you may have.
