TRUCKIN' AT ST. ANDREWS, AMARILLO

Good music and good food with good people. In a nutshell this is Truckin’ at St. Andrew’s during the summer. For the third year in a row now, we get together once a month during the summer period of June, July, and August. We have live music featuring local artists. One month we might have Blue Grass Country, the next an 80ies Cover Band. And if you know St. Andrew’s even a little, then you know there is dancing! The food also supports local businesses: We invite food trucks (hence the name Truckin’) to park across the blocked off street from our campus. Local vendors also set up shops here and on campus, selling everything from books to homemade jelly. St. Andrew’s t-shirts are available and there is a tie-dye station for those who like to get creative. Other activities and games, especially water games in the Texas heat keep the children entertained. This event is open to one and all and it is advertised in a local magazine. Aside from supporting local musicians and other businesses, we also highlight and collect monies for a local cause at these community events. This summer we collected for flood victims in Hereford, Texas. 

Good music, good food with good people. It’s a simple and effective recipe for community building. Not only the community of St. Andrew’s itself, but the wider community of Amarillo with our church. We are glad for this and many other creative endeavors of our rector Father Jared Houze. At St. Andrew’s we are One Bread, One Cup, One Love.   

Love and Grace,
