Cherry Blossom Sprigs

This Sunday, the 6th Sunday after Easter, we will have services at 8 and 10 AM, each followed by coffee hour. We hope you will join us for worship.

Readings for this Sunday: Acts 10:44-48, Psalm 98, 1 John 5:1-6, John 15:9-17.
 
Last Sunday we welcomed Bridget Frizzell into the church through the sacrament of Holy Baptism. She is the daughter of Lobin and Greg, and the sister of Bailee and Bryce.















Congratulations to Devon Clough who graduated May 5th, Summa Cum Laude from Keen State College with a BFA in Graphic Design Communications.

We have started our summer altar flowers program. 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. We encourage flowers to be given in memory, in honor, 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 include your contribution in the envelope. Thank you.
 
Thank you to all who participated in the Meet & Greet sessions last week. We had 21 people from St. Andrew’s went to at least one of the presentation and at least six of us went to two or three! And over twenty of us, including people who had not attended the M&Gs, also came together for a Parish Forum to reflect together about the nominees and the diocese. Please continue to keep the election process in your prayers as we approach the Electing Convention on May 19th.


Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a bishop for this Diocese, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 Blessings, Heidi+

From the office at St. Andrew’s
