October is Stewardship month!
Stewardship is extremely important for
Christian people because it gives us the opportunity
to ask ourselves what is important in our lives.
It also gives the opportunity to ask ourselves if belief
in our Lord Jesus Christ
and the belonging to St. Andrew’s Church family
make a difference in who we are and
how we react to life.
By pledging to the parish and by supporting
the ministries, we say clearly that
we belong to this church family.

ANNUAL BEANS & CORNBREAD LUNCHEON
Hosted by Amarillo Coalition for the Homeless at Civic Center—Monday, Oct. 20, 11:30am-1:00pm
Funds raised by the luncheon are matched 100% by the Don & Sybil Harrington Foundation.
St. Andrew’s has paid for 2 tables….sign up if you would like to attend (sheet on back counter)
The speakers for the program will be previously homeless Amarillo residents; individuals that you,
through your support of the luncheon, have helped. These previously homeless individuals
have gone on to lead independent and productive lives.
SAVE THE DATE FOR Oktoberfest—Sunday, October 26
Enjoy a “Brats N Beer” luncheon. Please bring sides, salads & desserts.
Bread, meat & drinks are provided. Signup to help set up or clean up.
Also at Oktoberfest: Olive Wood Religious Art & Bethlehem Handicrafts sale. The Hannoona family will be visiting
St. Andrew’s on Sunday, October 26, during the Oktoberfest to offer beautiful carved items for sale. For centuries,
Bethlehem’s Christians have supported their families by carving religious art from olive wood for visiting pilgrims.
However, political conflict prevents their families from reaching Bethlehem and many Christians from selling their art
in Jerusalem. Adding to this, the number of pilgrims who visit the holy sites decreases during times of political strife
which negatively affects the economy in Bethlehem. The situation is not expected to improve any time soon. Your purchase will go to support the Hannoona family and other Christians living in Bethlehem and the Holy Land.
SAVE THE DATE: Trunk or Treat
& Haunted House Friday, October 31, 6:00-7:30pm
Sign up your decorated car & help to pass out candy
(back counter). Place candy donations in container in back.
Bring the family for hot dogs & then go trick or treating in the
parking lot.visit the Haunted House.join the fun!!!
