2023 Pledge Campaign: We are the hands and feet of Christ

How does St. Andrew’s empower God’s transforming love in our lives, the church, and the world, and why it is important to give?

“Christ has no body now but yours.  No hands, no feet on Earth but yours.  Yours are the eyes through which he looks out his compassion on this world.  Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good.  Yours are the hands with which he is to bless us now.  Christ has no body on Earth but yours.”  -- Saint Teresa of Avila
 
At St. Andrew’s we believe and have committed to “Building God’s kingdom through worship, outreach, and fellowship.”  We actively participate in over 19 internal and outreach ministries to fulfill that commitment to each other, our community, and throughout the world.  As Presiding Bishop Michael Curry has often reminded us, “If it's not about love, then it’s not about God.” 
 
Through our gifts of time and resources given through our love for each other, our neighbors, and those less fortunate, we become the hands and feet of Christ.  We are given the opportunity to show God’s love through both word and deed.  It is through faithful stewardship that we are able to continue worshiping in our church, reaching out to a hurting and needy world, and bonding together in love and fellowship.
