3. Help Needed: Recycling Ministry
Mark and Mary Jo Abbott, along with
Kent Johnson, have been graciously
taking care of the recycling at St.
Andrew since this past spring. The
Abbotts are going to be gone from
mid-December until the end of April,
so we are asking if anyone else in the
church would be open to filling in for
the Abbotts (and assisting Kent)
while they are away. If you could
help for a few months, please
contact the church office at
office@saintandrew-ic.org or
319/338.7523. Thank you!

4. Stephen Ministry Holiday Meeting
Stephen Ministry will be holding its annual Christmas sharing
program on Thursday, December 17. They will be having a
Christmas treats swap in addition to sharing stories or a favorite
Bible passage. Bill Ford will be leading the sharing which begins
at 7pm. Supervision will be held at 8pm.
