Well, it has been a little quiet lately so I thought I would do a little update as to what is going on. A couple of weeks ago we collected $44 for relief in Myanmar and the week after we collected $66 for earthquake relief in China. That is awesome news! These collections took place without advance notice and no one planned on putting extra cash in the plate. That is just great! We have had a few visitors come to worship with us which is just wonderful! I love to see new faces in the pews! If you just happened on this website please drop an e-mail if you wish to receive more information about the chapel.
We are currently trying to come up with our mission statement. This is necessary because we are basically considered a new congregation. With this comes the opportunity to change our name. This is a very sensitive subject to some people and I can understand why. However, I also see the benefit from changing our name. We will still be the little green church (hopefully going green too) and we will also have "Formally St. Andrew's Chapel" for a long time. I, personally, was born and raise in this church and I am very comfortable with changing the name. A name is just a name at this point for me. We have the opportunity to choose a name that really means something to all of us. Currently there are quite a few St. Andrew's in the area. There is one in Walden and in New Paltz plus many others. If we all put our heads together I am sure that we will be able to find a name that really means something! Anyway, enough about that...
On to the plant sale. We made $322! Thank you to everyone that participated in this fundraiser. We will be selling mums in the fall, mid September, so please keep that in mind. We will also try to sell some poinsettias during advent too.
