Reminder for all Committee Chairs: Please get your reports in for inclusion in our Parish Annual Report. Material is due to Debra, emailed to the office [office@standrewsinthevalley.org] by January 18th. Please do not send hard copy as it will require Debra to retype it.

Plan ahead! Our new bishop, Rob Hirschfeld will be here at Saint Andrew’s on Sunday, February 10 for his first visit. We will have ONE service only on this occasion, and it will be at 10:00. Bishop Rob is eager to get to know this parish and our people (including you)! Mark your calendars now and save the date.
Bishop Rob was consecrated  August 4th and served as bishop coadjutor until January 5th, when he was installed as our diocesan bishop and Bishop Gene Robinson officially retired.

Winter Weather Advisory!!!  Please keep in mind during the winter when the weather looks questionable for safe travel to call the church before you leave home to check for schedule changes. If a storm comes in on Saturday evening or Sunday, I will make a judgment by 6:30 AM about whether to hold, cancel, or delay services. Cancellations will also be announced on WMWV radio 93.5. I will also send an email out to you if you have provided me with your email address. PLEASE do not travel if it feels unsafe to you. Enjoy a Sabbath morning at home and remember St. Andrew’s in your prayers.
