We welcome any one who is interested in helping with this Outreach.

This is a very important outreach opportunity that needs new volunteers.  Enlist a friend to help serve a meal to those who count on it here on Sunday evening.  If you don't cook, no worries, we can provide lots of ideas that are easy, like pizza night, hot dog bar, make your own subs or pick them up from Subway.  Please contact the office or Carol Tubman if you can join the list of Cook Teams.

Pentecost is this Sunday

Do you speak a foreign language? If so, would you read a portion of the Gospel in that language? Please contact Caroline by Saturday if you would like to take part in reading the Gospel in “many tongues”.


Memorial Garden
The St. Andrew’s Memorial Garden was established in 1984, and the ashes of many parishioners and friends are buried there. A number of current parishioners have also decided they would like their ashes interred there, and have reserved a plot. We are now in the process of updating our records, and are contacting those who have reserved a plot. If you believe you have reserved a plot, and are not contacted, or, if you would like to reserve a plot, please be in touch with Caroline at 323-8515 or interimsaitv@gmail.com. Applications are available in parish hall, or can be emailed to you at your request.

A Request from the Search Committee
As we continue with our fact gathering for our parish profile, we have mentioned at our Sunday services that we would be having small informal group discussions so that parishioners could continue to discuss our parish, and our search for a new rector. This coming Sunday, in the parish hall, there will be a sign up sheet with the names and addresses of parishioners who have agreed to host these discussions. Please sign up under the place, date, and time that is most convenient for you.
Your thoughts and opinions are very important in our search process, so we would like as many of you as possible to attend one of these sessions
If you have any questions, please contact any search committee member.

Hope
Can you remember a setback, a disappointment or a loss that made you feel that all was lost, that nothing more could be done, that there was no longer any reasonable cause for hope?  with Jesus there is always reason to hope.  There is nothing – not even death itself – that can conquer or defeat us.  “ Do not fear, only believe.”
