Dear St. Andrew’s Church Family,
We want to express our heart-felt thanks for all of the prayers for Jonathan and our family dur-ing the past months. Jonathan continues to make steady pro-
gress. We deeply appreciate the sup-port from all of you and are very thankful for our church family. The cards and visits from Pastor Larry, Mar-lena, and Debra greatly helped us all.

Our church policy is that if Findlay City Schools are on a 2-hour de-lay or cancelled (due to weather), then the church will open at 9:30 am, instead of 8:30 am. This will give the custodial staff time to work on the sidewalks and parking lot. Also, the Church will be closed for a Level-3 emergency as deter-mined by the local law enforcement agencies.
WEATHER REMINDER!
