Souper Bowl of Caring
2026-02-08 | St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 8630 Refugee Road, Pickerington, Ohio, 43147, United States
In 1990, Souper Bowl of Caring began with a simple prayer from a single youth group: “Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat.”
Since then, close to $200 million has been generated for local charities across the country through Souper Bowl of Caring.
On Super Bowl Sunday, February 8, 2026 St. Andrew’s will be accepting Cash donations and donations of non perishable food items.
Share in God’s love for our neighbors in need and give generously. All of the donations collected will go directly to our Souper Bowl of Caring Charity of Choice: The Pickerington Food Pantry.
They are currently in need of Canned Fruit, Spaghetti Sauce, Salad Dressings and Personal Care Items.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper
2026-02-17 17:00 - 19:30 | St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 8630 Refugee Road, Pickerington, Ohio, 43147, United States
Why do we eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday?
It was the last chance for a spot of indulgence before 40 days of fasting, and an opportunity to use up food that could not be
eaten during Lent.
This included eggs, bacon, sausage, fat, and milk, which were made into pancakes and eaten on the day before Ash Wednesday when Lent began.
Please kindly join us on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, 5pm to 7:30pm
We are looking for cooks, prep and servers and of coursehelping hands to clean up.
A signup list for volunteers is posted in the Narthex along with a signup list for who will be attending.
February 15, during fellowship a brief meeting will be held to review and plan the event.
Any questions, please feel free to contact Joe Cessna.

Ash Wednesday Service
2026-02-18 19:00 - 20:00 | St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 8630 Refugee Road, Pickerington, Ohio, 43147, United States
The Liturgy of Ash Wednesday
Holy Eucharist
Wednesday, February 18, 2026, 7:00 PM

The beginning of Lent gives us the occasion to admit that we will die and that we are sinners. On Ash Wednesday we are marked with ashes—a sign of our death and of our sorrow for sin—but the ashes trace a cross on our forehead, where the baptismal water first marked us with God’s grace.

Explorer's Day
2026-02-21 09:00 - 16:00 | The Procter Center, 11235 St. Rt. 38 SE, London, OH, 43140, United States
Are you experiencing a sense of God’s call to ordained ministry? Do you want to further explore that nudge you feel to be a deacon or priest?
Attending the Explorer’s Day, organized by the Commission on Ministry (COM), is the first step to entering the discernment process for ordained ministry. Explorers attend alongside their parish priest (or in the absence of the priest, their senior warden or other leader).
The Explorers’ Day will provide

an introduction to our diocesan Explorer Discernment Process (pre-postulancy)
basic information about the steps to ordination
next steps for beginning the process
sharing about various lay ministries
Bible study and theological reflection about ministry
