St. Andrew’s Day is always celebrated on November 30th because it marks the crucifixion of the first apostle. We will again be having a free chili dinner that is open to the public. Here’s how you can help:

We will need four volunteers in the kitchen from 4:30-6:30 PM and another four from 6:30-8 PM. We also need about 100 corn muffins and 200 cookies. If you can make a couple dozen cookies or a couple batches of corn muffins and bring them to the church on Sunday, November 28th or Monday, November 29th, that would be fantastic! Use the form below to indicate how you’ll be participating:
