School starts August 9th, and that means it’s time for the St. Andrew’s Operation SmartStart school supplies drive. This year we are asking for student backpacks that contain four items including:
- Packages of loose leaf paper
- #2 Pencils
- Erasers (at end of pencils or handheld)
- Boxes of tissues
Your donations will benefit B. C. Graham Elementary and Cleveland Elementary Schools. Stores like Target, Walgreens, or Walmart have the best deals on these items at this time of the year. There is a large collection box in the Parish Hall for your donations.
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church was established in Tampa in 1871. Its first service was held in the hospital building at Fort Brooke. A wooden church was erected in 1883 on the city block bounded by Marion, Twiggs, Morgan, and Madison.
This history of the Windows of Saint Andrew’s is based upon research by the late Laban G. Lively. Additional information has been added by Nancy Turner. It is reconstructed for presentation on the WWW by Joe Daurril. Photos taken by Chris Cobb.
The organ at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Tampa, Florida, was designed and built by C. B. Fisk, Inc., of Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Ministry at St. Andrew’s is an integral part of our parish life and our community.
St. Andrew's seeks to ensure that we are meeting the spiritual and religious education needs of all our members.
