St. Andrew Meet-Ups

St. Andrew Meet-Ups are back! 


A Meet-Up is an informal, easy get-together where St. Andrew members and friends gather. We are looking for a few volunteers to schedule and host more Meet-Ups. Hosting a Meet-Up is super-simple: Just contact the church office (office@saintandrew-ic.org), and tell us where you'll be and when. 


The best Meet-Ups are those that are free or very low-cost, are good for all ages, and are focused on activities or events planned by others, such as a fair or festival, or visits to local sites, like a park. Some ideas we have, but that haven't been scheduled, are Meet-Ups at playgrounds, ice cream shops, a dog park, community festivals and fairs, Fossil Gorge, a leisurely walk through a park or along a trail, a bicycle ride, or even a gathering in your backyard. 


Get the idea?


If you host, you get to pick the event, the venue, and the time! We'll add it to our list online and get the word out through the Mini-Messenger (subscribe here) and the St. Andrew App (download: Apple Store | Google Play).

SCHEDULED MEET-UPS

If you have an idea for a St. Andrew Meet-Up, send an email to the Church Office (office@saintandrew-ic.org) and let us know who, what, where, when, how, and why.

    • Description: “Examine the role public schools play in funneling students into the prison system in ‘Suspended: Systemic Oppression in our Schools,’ an original exhibition developed by the African American Museum of Iowa. Elements of the criminal justice system have entered public schools around the country, resulting in zero tolerance policies and student policing that disproportionately affect children of color. ‘Suspended’ aims to help visitors learn more and explore ways to dismantle systems that feed the school to prison pipeline.”
