Parmenter Street road construction
The City of Middleton began construction on Parmenter Street this week, and the south portion of Parmenter Street is now closed.

For weekly traffic to get to St. Andrew it is recommended to take one of these alternate routes:

• From the north, County Road K to Church Road to Schneider Road.
• From the south, Airport Road to Capitol View Road to Schneider Road.

On evenings after 6:30 and weekends you can use one of the routes above or:

• Take Highway 12, to the Parmenter Street Exit #249 and drive around the barriers (it is not recommended to drive on Parmenter Street from the south).

This construction project is between Century Avenue and Greenbriar Road and will last until October. We will keep you updated as we learn more and appreciate your patience.

Even if you didn’t make a formal pledge, you can still give. Every bit helps, as St. Andrew will still carry some debt, and the less debt, the more ministry.

Parking lot construction update
Phase 3 of the parking lot construction will begin after June 29. Here are some important details to keep in mind. With the rain this week and a lot of moving parts in the parking lot construction, dates are flexible:

• At some point after June 29, the front doors will officially close, and the main entrance will move to the north side gym doors. Watch for signage to point you to the correct entrance. The doorbell, keypad, and intercom services will be relocated temporarily to these north gym doors as well so you can enter the building as you normally would.
• The new north parking lot is almost ready for pavement. When we transition to the new main entrance, there will be pavement in the new lot to walk on.

There will be a change in available parking when the interior fences go up. Most of the north side of the parking lot will be usable for worship on Thursdays and Sundays.

Summer travel plans?
With school now officially being out, it’s a good time to review all our worship options. Join us for worship on Thursdays at 7 PM if your summer plans take you away for the weekend. Catch our livestream service at 8 AM on our St. Andrew website (st-andrew-online.org) to worship with us remotely while traveling. Or join us in person at 8:00 or 10:30 AM on Sunday mornings.

Milestones
Theodore Mark Edward Luppen, son of Brandon and Michelle Luppen, was born earlier this month and baptized into Christ last Sunday. Rejoice with the Luppens in these great blessings from our merciful Father in heaven. Then continue to pray for this and all young families as they raise the children of God.

Service opportunity | Independence Day
St. Andrew is putting together a team to help Middleton VFW set out American flags around our community on July 4 to celebrate our independence. This is a great project for individuals, groups, or families, and the VFW makes a donation to St. Andrew. Flags are picked up around 6 AM at the Middleton VFW (just east of Metro Market and Prairie Café) and then set out at various locations. The flags are returned to the VFW between 5 and 5:30 PM. Help with either or both. Contact Pastor Clinton to join this effort or sign up here.

Serving opportunity | Children’s Ministry Day
Children’s Ministry Day is July 23 from 3:30 – 7:00 PM at Garner Park in Madison. Would you like to help bring this ministry to children of St. Andrew and the community? You can serve with food prep, as a group leader or game organizer, or in other ways. Contact Yvonne Onsager for details.

Service opportunity | outdoor greeters
With construction happening and intensifying soon, we want to make sure our guests (and members) know where to go. We are looking to assemble a team to help direct worshipers to parking and to the entrance before worship services. It’s a role you can do whichever service you attend. Contact Pastor Clinton if interested.

Monthly Mission Partner
Our partner for June is our mission trips. This ministry helps people go to different locations to spread the gospel of Jesus. Typically, we choose mission churches that don’t have a lot of manpower, including the group of eight heading to Rock Hill, South Carolina, in about two weeks. Not everyone goes on mission trips, but you can support them and the churches they travel to with prayers, encouragement, and offerings.
