August 12-19
-- Send a flock or guard your yard!
Before they head back to school, the St. Andrew’s youth will raise funds by filling yards with a flock
of flamingos! Don’t worry, the placement is temporary, but it’s all in good fun to support their 2019
service projects. There are several options for you to consider purchasing: $20 will allow you to submit
an address for a drawing to receive delivery, $35 guarantees a “hit” to the address you request,
and $50 will provide insurance to prevent your own yard from being filled with flamingos.
Forms will be available in the bulletin on Sunday as well as in the Church Office during the week.
Space is limited, so get your order in early! (And remember, it is all in good fun!)
