"The Earth is God's and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it; for God has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers." 
Psalm 24:1-2

New Documentary Series
A new free documentary film series will be offered once a month at Saint Andrew beginning September 29. Films will highlight contemporary environmental and social issues. All are invited to participate. Please spread the word to friends and neighbors. 
Childcare is available by request.

The first film, Return to El Salvador will be shown in Friends Hall, Wednesday, September 29, 7:00 pm. This is very timely because of our connection with El Higueral.

Seventeen years ago, U.N. Peace Accords marked the end of a brutal civil war in El Salvador. This film is the compelling story of vibrant Salvadoran individuals and communities and the intricate geo-political systems that have so profoundly impacted their lives. The struggles continue. Jerry Daugherty will be there to lead a discussion afterward.
