Stewardship

2025 Financial Report

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!

Expansion Exploration Committee

Over the past three years, our parish has experienced tremendous growth—something we’re seeing in many Orthodox communities across the country. As a result, we are quickly outgrowing our current space.

To begin addressing this blessing and challenge, the Parish Council is forming an exploratory committee to research possible solutions to our ongoing space limitations. This committee is open to anyone who feels called to contribute their time and ideas.

If you're interested in joining or learning more, please reach out to Michelle Brown at [email protected].

LIVING WITH A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW

Please join us as Schema Abbess Joanna offers her wisdom and insight into seeing the world through the eyes of faith, cultivating a life rooted in Christ amidst the challenges of our time.

All are welcome to attend and be nourished by this rare opportunity to hear from a true spiritual mother.

The talk will be followed by Vespers and then a potluck meal.

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!
