CLERGY COUNCIL

Part of being a good steward of what God has given us is time, which is interesting since God Himself is not ruled by time. He is beyond both time and space. In His wisdom, he calls us to be accountable for how we use our time. So we need to be good stewards of time, but not slaves to it.

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.

Parish Council members are:

  • Vadim Belikov - President

  • Jacob Voyce - Treasurer

  • Elena Ellis - Financial Secretary

  • Dn. Philip Mayer - Secretary

  • Michelle Brown - Member-at-Large

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!
