One City Marathon - One service at 5 p.m. on March 12

On Sunday, March 12, Newport News will host the One City Marathon. The Marathon route will impact Hilton Village with road closures, blocked intersections, and parking restrictions throughout the area, making it impossible to hold church services at the usual times that morning. The runners are expected to pass St. Andrew’s from around 8:00 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. They will come down Warwick Boulevard, turn down Main Street, pass St. Andrew’s, and go left onto River Road, then left onto Rivermont Drive and back to Warwick. These roads will be closed to traffic from 6:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.

What does this mean for us?  St. Andrew’s is planning to have a strong presence that day to cheer the runners on and hope that as many as can, especially those in the neighborhood who live within walking distance, will be here. The Parish Life Team has planned activities for those who come to cheer!

Our one service at 5 p.m. that evening will be followed by an Italian supper party. Enjoy baked penne pasta with meat sauce from Anna's Restaurant (gluten free past aavailable upon request), Caesar salad, garlic and herb cheese breads, fresh baked cookies and a beverage bar featuring tea, coffee, juce and wine. For special requests, Penne with marinara sauce and gluten-free penne with marinara will be available. This event is free, but donations will be accepted. Bring the whole family! Dress is casual this Sunday as we enjoy this combined service and the party afterward.
