Disciples Of God's Service at St. Andrew's
The services that we are offering are:
1. If anyone has a friend or family member who is in the hospital or recuperating at home, and they would like to have a visit, let us know. We will arrange for a therapy team or two to go and visit them.
2. If someone has a dog that they think would make a good therapy dog, let us know. We will get them in touch with one of our tester/observers, and get them started in doing therapy work.
The dogs will serve as greeters four tim es during the year for worship services.

With gas prices at record highs and rising, it is taking a bite out of all of our wallets, especially those in the inner city. You can help by donating non-perishable food items as well as laundry detergent, diapers and personal hygiene items to the Pearl UM Food Pantry. Just look for the grocery cart in the rotunda.
