Open the Windows Campaign

The Capital Improvement Campaign is off and running with new audio/visual equipment in the sanctuary, and
coming soon -- new exterior paint and windows! But we still need your help to complete the rest of our Phase 1
plan to enhance the children’s wing of campus with updated bathrooms, security, and a new playground/courtyard.
Following the mission of St. Andrew’s to “GLORIFY, GROW, AND GO,” we are charged with being good stewards
and effectively utilizing our physical resources in order to offer meaningful and engaging opportunities. Our Open
the Windows campaign is intended to further the work of the church by enhancing our campus and providing a
wider range of outreach opportunities to bring Christ to our congregation and community.
If you have not yet seen the detailed plans, folders are available in the Church Office and Narthex. As we are a
little over halfway to our goal, we ask that you prayerfully consider what God has planned for St. Andrew’s, and
what your role might be in His plan.
“Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says
the LORD of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.”
Malachi 3:10
Capital Campaign Update $939,357.17; 59% of $1.6 million goal for phase 1
