“Open the Windows”

Thank you again to all who have supported the St. Andrew’s Capital Campaign. If you are still unsure of your
role in this cause, please consider taking a walk all around the church grounds. It is no secret that many of the
buildings need repair. The word “window” is defined as follows:
 an opening in the wall of a building that is fitted with glass or other transparent material in a frame for
admission of light and air
 a means of entrance or access; a means of obtaining information
 an interval of time during which certain condit ions or opportunities exist for action
This campaign was named “Open the Windows” specifically because of the physical needs of our campus, but
the overall goal is to equip St. Andrew’s with the facilities and means necessary to serve our congregation and
community. Please pray for St. Andrew’s: its mission, ministries, purpose, and future in God’s perfect plan.
