30 Hour Famine

Thank you St. Andrew’s for all of your support during our 30 Hour Famine in February. Together we raised over $3,400 to support World Vision and their effort to provide food and care across the world, and Hope City Tucson in their efforts to provide assistance to the houseless community in Tucson.

LIGHT THE PATH: YOUTH CONFIRMATION CLASS

We are starting a Lent Confirmation Class during the Youth Sunday School hour from 10:45 am - 12:00 pm. This 8-week class will help us dive deep into what the church believes, what we believe, and why it’s important! This isn’t just a Confirmation class, but a bridge of mentorship for St. Andrew’s. Think prayer partners 2.0! We hope this opportunity ignites something in you; maybe you are looking for a way to get involved, maybe you’re looking for a way to serve, and hopefully you’re looking for a way to invest in young people and have them invest in you. Let’s not only pass the torch but light the path into the life of the church.

SUPER SIGN-UP SUNDAY

Save the date for Super Sign Up Sunday! Every summer during July, both Middle School and High School head to Forest Home Camp in the San Bernardino Mountains. It is an amazing week filled with games, worship, teaching, zip-lining, hiking, blobbing, competitions, night games, friendships, and more! Spaces are limited and go quickly. Super Sign-Up Sunday is your best, and possibly only, chance to get your spot. Registration will be open online at 2:00 pm on Sunday, March 5. We can’t wait for you to join us! The dates for summer camp this year are July 2-7 and the cost is $530 per camper. Sibling discounts and scholarships are available! Learn more at sapctucson.org.

Moonlight Dinner

Save the date for the Moonlight Dinner and Auction, the biggest youth fundraiser of the year! Funds raised go to Youth Missions, Youth Scholarships, and our Youth Intern Program. It is a huge event and we need your help to make it happen. The Moonlight Dinner and Auction will be Saturday, April 29, starting at 6:00 pm in Friendship Hall. Please save the date and consider how you can volunteer or support the event! Tickets will go on sale at the end of March! DONATIONS NEEDED! We are currently accepting donations to be auctioned off. Some of the popular items in the past have been timeshares, dinner parties, service projects, sports memorabilia, large diamonds, and private yachts. Please consider donating and attending our fun event! If you have questions, please contact Tim Christian at tchristian@sapctucson.org or Logan Schmidt at lschmidt@sapctucson.org.

Change for Children

0ur annual Change for Children campaign will kick off on March 12, and Alliance for Children Everywhere (ACE) will be our Moment for Mission. Representatives from ACE will be here to kick off the campaign in all three services. Please also plan to join us after services for any questions that you may have.

As discussed in the February Cross Currents article, our goal this year is to raise $10,000 for the Graduation Approach. With the Graduation Approach we will be empowering 50 families through the program and out of extreme poverty. This money will go towards monthly food support while in the program, financial literacy, and job skills training, seed capital, and mentoring for starting a small business and maintaining their endeavor.

Thank you for your continuing support of ACE and its mission.
