Adult Education Class

St. Andrew’s new adult education class will begin on January 17th at 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. We will be reading and studying The Acts of the Apostles. Our texts for the course are The New Collegeville Commentary; The Acts of the Apostles by Dennis Hamm and The New Daily Study Bible; The Acts of the Apostles by William Barclay. The books are available at Amazon.com. Students will also need to bring a good study Bible (like the Oxford Annotated Bible) to class along with materials for note taking. The course will consist of weekly readings and an in class discussion of the material. Snacks will be provided by members of the group on a rotational basis. Join us!

Christmas Projects

St. Andrew’s and Church of the Redeemer had two exciting Christmas Projects this year. First, the children, with the help of adults, put together 100 gift bags for the residents of Oak Woods Home for the Elderly here in Mer Rouge. The bags contained tissue, chapstick, lotion and a holiday snack. The residents loved it when the children delivered the bags with a hug!

Second, all the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day offerings were sent to the Northeast Louisiana Food Bank. Thanks to everyone!
