The services for this coming Sunday, March 11th, the Third Sunday in Lent, will be at 8 and 10 AM, followed by coffee hour. Please join us for worship and fellowship.
Readings for this Sunday: Exodus 20:1-17, Psalm 19, 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, John 2:13-22.
The Rector’s Discretionary Fund needs your help. The balance is down to $6, which won’t even buy much gas these days! A couple of people had to be turned away. This pool of money is funded only through your contributions – both large and small. If you are able to make a contribution, please do. The needs are still great. There will be envelopes in the bulletins on Sunday. A perfect opportunity for Lenten Alms Giving. The neediest among us will thank you.
Happy 90th Birthday, Walter! A goodly number of Saint Andrew’s folks stopped by to join in birthday festivities last Sunday and to wish Walter well as he begins another decade!
The Bishop Election Process: The names of our nominees will be announced on Thursday of this week on the diocesan web site: www.nhepiscopal.org. Volunteers are being sought to help with the Meet and Greet event on Wednesday, May 2nd in Holderness, as well as for the Electing Convention on May 19th. There is a sheet posted on the Parish bulletin board. All who are interested are encouraged to attend the Meet and Greet session and when the date gets closer, we will arrange for ride sharing.
The Tamworth Community School has been inspired by the Empty Bowls Project (www.emptybowls.net) and on Thursday March 15th at noon they will be serving soup in bowls made in their art classes. The students deliberated about where the money raised would go – internationally or locally – and they decided to donate the money raised to our Community Food Pantry here at Saint Andrew’s. How great that they thought of our food pantry! The cost to eat soup is a donation and the first 50 people also get to take the bowl home. I plan to go and would enjoy company if anyone else wants to go. If you plan to go they would like reservations made ahead of time at 323-7000. – Peg Reinfuss

Food for thought from Mahatma Gandhi:
“We become what we yearn after.”
Which is to say … we will be shaped by what we want and what we reach for, hence the need for us to open our hearts to God in prayer, so that our longings call forth our best selves.
See you in church.
With Blessings for a Holy Lent,
