Dear Quilting Angels,
Thank you so much for the beautiful prayer pillow for my mother. She is delighted and comforted by both the pillow and the prayers, and I am deeply grateful to you for your kindness! What a blessing you each are with your artistic eyes, your talented fingers, and your loving hearts! With love and gratitude,
Elizabeth Ross

The prayer pillow being carried to the altar today represents the 128 pillows and throws made so far for those going through a struggle in their lives and for all members of St. Andrew United Methodist Church who are in need of prayer. The butterfly design represents resurrection and new life. The pillow will be carried to the altar each Sunday.
The women’s annual spaghetti dinner will be held Saturday, February 25th, 6:00 p.m. in Friendship Hall. The cost is $8 for adults and $4 children 12 & under. You may purchase tickets today in the overflow following the 11:00 a.m. worship service, at Wonderful Wednesday, or during the week in the church office. LAST DAY TO PURCHASE TICKETS IS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22.

UMCOR STORE UPDATE – So far, St. Andrew has sent
$1,950 to UMCOR, marked “Disaster Relief in America”. That is in addition to the nearly
