Kriskindle Advent Tradition
​
This custom comes to us from Austria and Germany. You become the secret gift-bringer for someone in the congregation. On each Sunday in Advent (November 30, December 7, 14 and 21) you leave a small gift for that person--anonymously, signing a tag or card "Your Kriskindle."
Gifts should be inexpensive such as a greeting card, homemade cookies, tea/coffee mug, or some item you know your person enjoys. On the last Sunday, December 21, you leave the final gift and sign your name. You can join by filling out the Kriskindle Slips this Sunday and next.
An Opportunity for Giving Back to the Larger Community
​
St. Andrew's Beth-El Dinner Group is collecting for our monthly dinners. We have noticed a significant uptick in dinner guests over the past year--51 dinners last week--and do our best to accommodate all takers. Please consider donating to the Beth-El food box (in the lobby of Faith Hall) with individual fruit cups, granola bars, paper lunch bags, or bags of snack size candy. You may also contribute a monthly donation by putting your check in the offering plate, payable to St. Andrew's, with "Beth-El dinners" in the memo line.

What an invigorating and joyous Pentecost Sunday we shared today! We were delighted to welcome the Rev. Ranjit K. Mathews, ECCT Canon to the Ordinary, who offered an inspiring message, before joining together in Faith Hall for a festive brunch and great conversation.
The St. Andrew’s Beth-El Dinner Group is seeking donations of supplies and/or monetary donations for our 2024 dinner service. Donations of bottled water, granola bars, and single serve fruit cups are welcome. Please leave in the Hall vestibule in the box marked “Beth-El Dinners” and many thanks in advance for your continued generosity!
BOOKS FOR VETS
We have placed a box in the foyer of Faith Hall for an ongoing collection of slightly used books. These will be donated to the VA hospital in West Haven.
Senior Center Food Bank Donations
Please bring your food donations to church on Sundays. We will bring all donations to the Senior Center Food Bank. Thank you for your continued support for this important mission.
(Both Beth El and the Senior Center Food bank have noted a greater need for food donations as the number of people experiencing food insecurity has grown, especially in the presence of inflation. Please be as generous as you can. Thank you.)
On April 14th, 2024 we celebrated "Reunion Sunday"
“Celebrating the Anniversary of St. Andrew’s becoming a self-sustaining parish on January 5, 1962,”
Below are some pictures from 5/28/23 Sunday service and festive coffee hour where each Veteran in our community received his own specially designed Quilt of Valor
