Spring Food Drive
Spring is here; the snow
has disappeared, but the
need to feed the hungry
never leaves us. So let’s spring
into action and fill that need by
bringing in your non-perishable food
items. April 17-24, & May 1.
Flower Sale Begins!
Spring is right around the corner which
means our gardeners will start to think
about what plants they want to plant this year.
That's right, it's time for our annual flower sale. Once again
we will be participating in the voucher program from Caan's
Floral. To allow you more time to be able to pick up your
flowers, we will have the voucher delivery be earlier this
year. You only need to decide if you want geraniums,
spikes/vines, hanging basket, etc. The voucher will allow
you to go to Caan's & that day decide what type of hanging
basket, the color etc. Orders will be taken from March 20
through April 24. Monies should accompany order, checks
made payable to “St. Andrew Lutheran Church”. All profits
will once again go toward our current fund. Order forms can
be found in your April Voice & at both church entrances.
Any questions, please contact Sherrie Kauger at 980-5167 or
email: [email protected].

The Perkins Perk program began on Sat. Feb.

the correct dates. Thank you to all that are helping support this fund raiser by simply dining at Perkins &
turning in a voucher. Should you forget your voucher
ask the cashier for a St. Andrew coupon. Remember to

email [email protected].
How can you share God’s grace and love? How can you
reach out as Christ’s healing hands in the world? When
Lutheran World Relief (LWR) distributes Personal Care
Kits around the world, it’s often to people who have lost
everything in an earthquake or have fled from violence as
their homes were overtaken. The very simple gesture of
giving a Personal Care Kit can give someone the encouragement to start anew, starting with doing something as
simple as washing one’s face or combing one’s hair. You
can share God’s grace and love and be Christ’s healing
hands in the world by helping St. Andrew’s Women of
the ELCA make Personal Care Kits for LWR.
Items needed for Personal Care Kits for Lutheran World
Relief (LWR) include:
 Light or medium weight bath size towels (approx.
52”x27”), dark color
 Bath-size bars (4-5 oz.) of soap in original wrapping
 Adult-size toothbrushes
 Sturdy combs
 Metal nail clippers (attached file optional)
All items are to be new. Donations may be placed in the
Personal Care Kit donation box found on the table at the
top of the stairs in parking lot entrance. St. Andrew
Women of the ELCA as a Thrivent Action Team will be
assembling the kits in May. Questions? Contact Phyllis
Bloedow.
“Recipe Corner”:
Do you have a favorite recipe to
share, please email the church or
put it in the Office Secretary’s box
outside the office. Thanks!

We had 27 go to the Milwaukee’s Admirals game on Saturday, March 5th. It was an exciting game
that went into overtime with the Admirals taking the win!
Based on the feedback of everyone we will plan on coordinating another trip next year. Once the
new schedule becomes available we will work on selecting a date and get details into the Voice
and bulletins.

Ephesians 4:11-13— “The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up
the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.”
Our Vision: Serving Jesus Christ here and around the world, we exist as a community of faith to equip people for ministry in their daily lives.
Our Mission: Called by God’s love, we offer HELP, HEALING, HOPE, AND HOME
