Fellowship Opportunities
St. Andrew Moms (SAMs)
Kick-off brunch - Monday, August 30, 9:30-11:30
Regular meeting time - 2nd and 4th Mondays, September-May (plus summer activities); 9:30-11:30 am, Rm. 243
If you are looking for a group of committed Christian moms engaged in discussions about the challenges we face as women and mothers and the lessons we are learning, then SAMs is for you. We welcome mothers at any stage of their lives: brand-new, working, stay-at-home, and empty-nesters, and we provide an open forum to learn from and grow with one another. We believe that faith and religion play a big role not only in family life, but in our lives as women and mothers. Join us for fun, support, encouragement, prayer, and fellowship as we learn through a program of Bible study, community outreach, devotionals, educational speakers, and book studies. Set aside time for Mom’s Nights Out and play dates with the kids too! Don’t miss our kick-off brunch to discuss this year’s fall program, which will include a study of The Hiding Place, by Corrie ten Boom, on Monday, August 30, 9:30-11:30, Rm. 110. No need to find a sitter: While meeting with SAMs, free childcare is provided by St.Andrew (one week notice required).
For more information or to join, please contact Melinda Howard at melsmail73@comcast.net
Prime Timers
This group of seniors meets on the 2nd Friday of the month for fellowship and a potluck lunch, either at the church or at a nearby restaurant. Call the church office for monthly specifics at 303-794-2683.
Moms Like Eve
A new group is forming and will meet 1st and 3rd Fridays. Just like Eve, none of us is perfect, but we can learn from her example and each other as mothers, women and followers of God. This group fosters friendships through support, learning about exciting new trends and revisiting tried-n-true methods. We will learn from speakers, discussions and outreach. Please join us June 18 for our Welcoming Pot-Luck Brunch. Your children are cared for by loving caregivers (one week notice required). For information or to join our journey, please contact Kirsten Parus at church.
Seafarers
"Our Mission is to provide Christian fellowship, service, and support for St. Andrew and the community"
These groups meet to offer Christian fellowship, service, and support for our church and community. These groups provide a great opportunity for both old and new members of St. Andrew to be together in a small group setting for social or service-related activities. Current groups include: Friend Ship, Fellow Ship, Kin Ship, and Relation Ship. Contact Rev. Dale Wood (303-794-2683) for more information on joining one of these groups.
Softball League
PLAY BALL!
The sun is shining and the grass is growing. That means…softball season! Our Men’s softball season is well underway for Spring. Now we are looking for the “boys of summer”. If you think grass on your knees and the sun in your eyes sounds like fun then this is the team for you. We play in a D-Rec league on Sunday afternoons at Cornerstone Park in Englewood. Our season will begin June 6 and continue for 9 games, plus a playoff. This is great opportunity to get some exercise and get to know a few other guys in the church. All men, 18 and over, are welcome to play. So dust off your cleats, oil your glove, and contact John Parisi, at the church for information. Registration is due by May 14.
Ladies and Gentlemen! Find your glove and grab your bats. We are now registering for a summer Co-Rec Softball team. We will play Sunday afternoons at deKoevend Park on University. The season is 9 games plus a playoff and begins June 6. We field 5 women and 5 men at a time so everyone gets to play. Do you remember how much fun you used to have playing softball? Now is your chance to play again. This is a wonderful opportunity for singles and couples. It is a family atmosphere and there are always kids around. Registration is due May 14. Contact John Parisi at church.
