If you’ve been following the local news, you know there has been a rash of church break-ins in Omaha. St. Andrew’s has had some things go missing. On the advice of police, we’re going to be leaving fewer doors open during the slower times of day. As we can most easily monitor comings and goings from the office, you may sometimes find the Rotunda doors locked. If so, just come in through the Office/Gym entrance.

While this day is hardly conducive to thinking about softball, the Men’s Teams are scheduled to begin play this Sunday evening. Again this year, we will field two teams. Last year, we were in the same division, which was a tad awkward. This year, we’re in different leagues. Both teams are scheduled for 9:00 games at the Kelly Fields, one playing on Field 3, the other on Field 4. The Kelly Fields are on Fort Street, around 122nd Street.

BOB D. writes: On April 21st eleven St. Andrews youth and four adults were a part of “Global Youth Service Day”. We spent the day working at “BIG Garden Project” sites in various locations in north and south Omaha. The garden plots help provide fresh produce to low income families along with providing nutrition education. We all learned a lot and enjoyed helping communities in need. EDITOR’S NOTE: You’ll find a couple of pictures of this event on the web site. Go the home page: www.standrewsomaha.net, hit the YOUTH link. The photos are in the left hand cell.
