PASCHA IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
The calendar linked below is a printable file and is very helpful in preparing for the Paschal Season
CLERGY CORNER
The ruination of humankind doesn’t have to happen through violent or forceful opposition. The old scenarios played out by books like The Late Great Planet Earth and other apocalyptic works isn’t nearly as effective as the gradual offerings of greater convenience and materialism. Lord have mercy. Go take a hike in the woods.
+Fr. George
TRAPEZA CHANGES, DIETARY RESTRICTIONS AND FOOD ALLERGIES
Our parish council is working towards revising our Trapeza space and routines to help accommodate our growth, and we are asking for input from the parish. Please reach out to Fr. George or one of the parish council members with your ideas and suggestions on how to better accommodate our growing church family! All suggestions and ideas are welcome!
One change we would like to make is to do a better job of accommodating dietary restrictions and food allergies. To that end, we have created a Google form (you do NOT need a Google account to complete the form) that we would ask be completed for each member of your family who has dietary restrictions or food allergies so that our Trapeza Team Leaders are aware and can work toward accomodating these needs. To complete the form, please click HERE and be sure to complete one form per individual with dietary restrictions or food allergies.
COUNCIL CORNER
Here, you’ll find important information about recent decisions, ongoing stewardship updates, upcoming projects, and ways we’re working to support the life and growth of our parish. Our goal is to keep you informed, involved, and connected as we continue to serve Christ and one another.

New to our parish and wondering how to contribute?
We’re so glad you’re here! If you feel moved to support the life of our parish, there are a couple of simple ways to do so. While we’re currently working on setting up online donations, you’ll find a small box in the Narthex labeled “Tithes and Donations” where you can leave your offering.
Another meaningful way to help is by contributing to our Trapeza Fund, which pays for a festal meals and keeps our weekly fellowship meals going strong. If you’d like to give, there’s a clearly marked coffee can labeled “Trapeza Fund” in the Trapeza. Additionally, if you would like to join one of our four Trapeza teams, please let Elena Ellis know.
Your generosity, no matter the size, helps nourish both body and soul. Thank you for being part of our community!
TRAPEZA TEAMS
Trapeza Teams and the schedule for the rest of the year has been updated and can be found on our web site by clicking HERE and then on the “Trapeza Team Info” button.
If you have questions about Trapeza Teams or would like to be added to one, please reach out to Elena Ellis at [email protected]
WANT TO HELP OTHERS FIND US? PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW
Today’s generation will OFTEN use google maps as a way to find something near them. If you’re in Redding (or anywhere outside Anderson) you may not see a listing for St. Andrew at all when you search for “Orthodox Church”. We have heard from MANY new inquirers that they didn’t even know there were two Orthodox Churches in the area. We are trying to change that!
In an effort to be more visible and accessible to new inquirers, we are encouraging our members to leave a review on our Google business listing. This helps Google show more people our listing and helps people who see our listing feel welcome! If you would like to contribute to this effort, please click HERE and leave us a review. Thank you!
