“Celebrating Women in Ministry” All-Parish Offering—May 5 after Worship
In preparation for our film screening, we will host a special all-parish program after worship on May 5. Join us for Coffee Hour and a discussion celebrating women’s ministry, with Rev. Julie Peeples, the Rev. Tricia de Beer, and the Rev. Barbara Cooke (panelists), and the Rev. Ginny Bain Inman (moderator).
* About the story and the film: In 1974, in an act of civil disobedience, a group of eleven women and their supporters organized their ordination to become Episcopal priests. The Philadelphia Eleven is a new film that documents their story. Watch the trailer.

Love Grows Here—Stewardship Campaign
“May the Lord make you grow and abound in love for one another and for all.”
1 Thessalonians 3:12
Join us in Stewardship for 2024. In our Love Grows Here giving campaign, we are invited to share our time, talent, and treasure as a response of thanksgiving to our generous God. Thank you for giving joyfully and generously so that St. Andrew’s can continue to grow in Christ’s love and make that love visible in this church, in this community, and in this world.

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.
