Sunday, May 12th, George Rau joined Tom Reinfuss for a visit on a ship in Portland Maine. George reflects, “My first comment is that I can now appreciate why you love this ministry! As I approached the day of the visit, I was nervous about many things. This concern was quickly put to rest. The boarding of the ship was very exciting. Going up the gangway and seeing this huge tanker first hand is amazing. I was most struck by the reception by the captain and especially the crew of both Tom and Seafarer’s Friend as a whole! They are truly a special group of individuals who both need and seek this association. I loved the chance to experience why Seafarer’s Friend is such a special place for one Tom R. Thanks for a very special day.”
 
 
Our summer altar flowers program is underway. If you wish to provide flowers from your garden please complete an envelope from the Altar flower chart in the Parish Hall and turn in to the office. Thank you. We encourage flowers to be given in memory, in honor of or in thanksgiving.  If you do not have garden flowers and would like flowers to be ordered ($20), please note that accordingly on the flower chart and submission envelope.

 The Celebration of the Life of the Reverence John Booty will be held here at Saint Andrew's on Saturday, July 13th.
Food for thought and reflection from Barbara Cawthorne Crafton as we approach the Feast Pentecost and the Coming of the Holy Spirit…
The Spirit gives the gift of life – Gave it at creation and gave it at the first Pentecost – Gives it in the moment of forgiveness and in every sacrament of the church – Gives it at birth and continues to give it throughout life – Gives it at the moment of death and afterward, when we are all in Christ and Christ is in all.

Blessings,
