Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets the second Saturday of the month from 9 to 11 a.m. in the Garden Room of St. Andrew's Village located at 240 East Ave. in Mahtomedi. This ministry is dedicated to individually creating shawls and chemo caps while praying for the recipient's healing. This special ministry is open to all ages. We'll help you get started. Also, please let us know if you know of someone that would benefit from the gift of a prayer shawl.  Call Cindy Senarighi at 651-762-9129 or Jackie O'Neill at 651-770-1155 with names of recipients or questions. 

      GriefShare:  Mourning to Joy      

Thursdays, March 18 through June 10
6:45 to 8:45 p.m. in Sanctuary Building
GriefShare is a Christ-centered grief recovery support group.    The Biblically-based program, focusing on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one, is presented in a 13-week video series featuring nationally respected grief experts.  In group discussion you will have an opportunity to share with people who understand how you feel and the pain of your loss and start the journey from mourning to joy.  Confidentiality is an important part of the program.  Each week is a self contained presentation so you may begin the series at any time and finish the series when the next 13-weeks are offered.

Call Ronda at 651-762-9105 to inquire about the next session and to register - pre-registration is necessary for ordering materials.  The cost is $15.00 which covers all materials.  The group is open to anyone, so if you know of someone who has lost a loved one, please invite them.  For information on Grief/Share, check out the website or call Joanne Zehnder at 651-730-9073.  We know it hurts, and we want to help.

We who are in AA came because we finally gave up trying to control our drinking.  We found out that many people suffered from the same feelings of guilt, loneliness and hopelessness that we did.  We found out that we had these feelings because of the disease of alcoholism.  Please join us at our meetings.  For questions on AA or Al-Anon, call St. Andrew's at 651-426-3261.
