St. Andrews Presbyterian Church

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the Pastoral Team which included Pam Pendexter, Russ Brandt, Bob McQuilkin and Paul Hammer.  It was truly a privilege to work with such dedicated and compassionate pastors who treated me with such respect and professionalism! I will miss you all and at the same time I am looking forward to working with our interim pastor, Fred Edmonds. One thing I have personally seen in action over these past six months is that St. Andrews is a very strong and loving congregation full of wonderful people who continued on with their commitments and love for God and their church.  St. Andrews is truly blessed!  Debra

Greetings from BACN

Chase the Chill, BACN’s winter food drive, begins taking donations of non-perishable food items will begin January 20, 2012.   Look for the collection boxes in your church, community businesses and organizations, and schools.  Come February 3 and 4, 2012 to Shop & Save to see if our community can fill a semi-trailer at least half full of donations.
