Toiletry Items The Lord’s Dinner distributes needed items to our guests each month, after the meal is served and eaten. This is the only source that many of our guests have for lotion, shampoo, soaps, etc. We depend on our parish to donate those items. PLEASE keep us in mind when you travel or come across these trial or travel size toiletries. You can leave these in or on top of The Lord’s Dinner tub in the hallway! Marianne Jenkins
Building Use Monday – Thursday the doors, lights and heat are always checked by Esther before she leaves for the day. If you or your group come into the church when she is not here please make sure that any doors opened are locked (please pull on the door to make sure it is locked) and that all lights are off and the heat set correctly. If you use the 3 hour occupied the heat will go off in 3 hours automatically. The heat should not be set at continuous unoccupied because the programmed times will not work. The thermostat in St. Andrew’s and St. Mary’s are older and must be turned back to 58 degrees. If you are not aware of the correct setting for the heat please do not adjust the heat until you have checked with our Jr. Warden-Dean Logemann, Sr. Warden- Rich Page or our Secretary, Esther. Thank You!
