The Firman family from Auckland, New Zealand has been travelling down the California coast this past month and spent the week in Newport Beach going to the beach and riding bikes they bought at Kmart. Since it’s the end of their trip and they’re heading back home they figured they should give away their bikes to a needy family so they pulled their rented RV into our parking lot and unloaded 4 gently used bikes, toys and accessories.
We told them that we have many needy families that can use their gifts but especially the orphans down in Tecate that our team will be visiting next week. How blessed they’ll be to finally have bikes to ride and mountain bikes at that!
Isn’t it cool to see God connect this family from New Zealand to the orphans in Tecate?
God is still on the move on our summer road trip. Where has He been taking you? We want to hear from you. Share your stories by clicking the “Highlight What You’re Doing!” link at the top of the page!

Join us Thursday nights, begining TODAY, May 6, for a Yoga for Beginners class from 6:00-7:00 p.m. in Room 019. Our own Kristin Storey is a newly certified yoga teacher and is going to be teaching her first set of classes here at St. Andrew’s! The class will be offered for 2 months. All are welcome to attend, but the class will be designed for the beginning student who is either fairly new or brand new to yoga.
Bring a yoga mat (there are only a few available to borrow), a tie (for stretching – 1.5” x 6-8′), and two large towels (for sitting on). Determine what you can afford and bring that as well – the class is by donation. Try to come 5-10 minutes early to relax and get situated before the class starts. If you have any questions contact Kristin, 714.403.6219 or kristinstorey@yahoo.com.

Last Thursday, our bulletin volunteers needed some extra hands to help stuff the bulletins for the Easter weekend worship services. Several people joined in to help the group get the job done. Thank you for all those who helped out! We appreciate you.
Our bulletin stuffing team always enjoys new faces to fellowship with while doing this small but satisfying work for the Lord. Contact 949.574.2276, to volunteer.
We hope that you were able to join us for Serve Day this last weekend, March 27. But whether you were there or not, you have to see this video recapping the wonderful time we had serving together as the St. Andrew’s family!

Thank you to all those who served, including the first time guests who came alongside or church family to serve our local community.
The Deacon Fund offers financial assistance to members and friends in need, provides non-perishable bags of food, pays for the taxi service to bring non-drivers to church and underwrites our memorial service ministries. Because of so many needs, our fund is extremely low. An offering to replenish this fund will be received during the Maundy Thursday Service on April 1. Please consider what you can do to help this important ministry. For more info on our Deason Ministry, click here.
