Women in Mission
St. Andrew's Women in Mission (WIM) meets at 1:00 pm on the second Food Pantry distribution day of each month September through May. In June, we ended the year with a dinner at Crab Trap in Somers Point. The food was delicious and the portion was very generous!

Summer Beach Worship (May-October)
St. Andrew will again be offering its annual worship service with Holy Communion at the 16th Street Beach Pavilion in Brigantine. For many, it is the ultimate in Summer Church attendance -- worshipping on the beach next to the beautiful ocean with the summer breezes gently blowing. It is not to be missed! Some Sundays the dolphins are seen swimming and frolicking offshore.
