Stewardship Update
Thank you to everyone who has already made a pledge in support of Saint Andrew’s 2027 Stewardship Campaign — "A House of Prayer for All People." We are incredibly thankful for your generosity that sustains our common life and expanding ministry opportunities.
Streaming Live
We now stream the 10:30am Eucharist to the parish YouTube page @SaintAndrewsBirmingham, rather than to the parish Facebook page as we’ve done in the past. This upgrade was made possible through a diocesan Renew & Refresh Grant.
