RiverDogs Game

The game will be this Sunday, August 20th at 5:05pm. Tickets are $7, gates open at 4:00pm, and parking is free. We will meet downtown at The Joe, and Cindy Curtis will distribute tickets near will call.

Please note that our tickets are behind the first base line (we're hoping for shade) and not in general admission. If you have children who take advantage of free admission through the Kids Club or if you purchase general admission at the gate, you may not be seated with the rest of the group.

Payment for tickets can be made to the church. Cindy will collect checks between services this Sunday, and payments can be dropped into the collection plate as well. Please clearly mark payments (envelope and/or check memo line) as "RiverDogs Tickets."

Our last trip to The Joe was tons of fun, and we look forward to continuing the tradition!

Fundraising Efforts

We are beyond thrilled to announce that the St. Andrews Parish UMC team has raised more than $2,000 for this year's relay! Our annual Chili Cook-Off brought in a little over $300. Thank you to all who came, cooked and ate. A special congratulations goes out to first-runner up Jaime Johnson and proud victor Christine Freeman! We are already looking forward to next year's friendly competition and fierce fundraising.

But before the sun sets on this year's fundraising, please know that there is still time to contribute. A bake sale is scheduled for April 9th, and volunteers can sign up on the bulletin board outside the church office. All proceeds will benefit Relay For Life.

Guest Speakers & Special Performances

We are also pleased to announce that Pastor Brad will deliver this year's invocation, and our very own Jeremiah Treadway will be speaking at the Survivor's Dinner. The SAPUMC Praise Band will also perform at this year's event.
