last sunday offering
At St. Andrew's the loose plate offerings on the last Sunday of each month are given to an organization chosen by our Outreach Committee. Donations for the Last Sunday Offering can also be made through our Giving Online page or sent directly to the office. Donations are matched by anonymous donors.
January 2026: American Friends of the Episcopal Church of the Sudans.
The people of Sudan and South Sudan who are suffering conditions of extreme hunger, displacement from their homes, unrelenting violence, and disease. Over 4 million Sudanese are refugees or asylum seekers in neighboring countries, including South Sudan. In addition, over 10 million people have been displaced within Sudan. Most recently, the fall of El Fasher, largest city in Sudan’s Darfur region, triggered massacres of up to 2000 civilians, including 400 in the only operating hospital. Our donations will go to The American Friends of the Episcopal Church of the Sudans (AFRECS), an organization that follows closely the situation in the Sudans, has ties to churches, dioceses, and other organizations that work directly with those in need, and will assure that the funds we provide will go where they are most needed.
