in the Parish Hall and
drop a coin in daily. UTO boxes and/or check donations must be turned in by
Sunday, October 21st. Please make checks payable to St. Andrew’s with UTO in
the memo line.This year the children of the parish will be helping with the ChIPs program (Children of Incarcerated Parents) by encouraging you to contribute and by being the purchasers of the gifts!

Next Sunday, October 14th, will be our Blessing of the Animals . Plan on bringing your pet(s) to church for either the 8 AM or 10 AM services that morning. Please have dogs on a leash and other creatures in a cage. We will reserve the transept as an “animal free zone.”
Facilities update; your building maintenance dollars at work: Refinishing of the front doors is underway. Getting the old finish off is turning out to be a challenge. If anyone can loan a belt sander, let us know. If you're an experienced sander and could put in an hour or two, let us know that. And if you have tips – such as a favorite varnish-remover product to recommend, that would help too. Thanks! – Duane (367-8336)
Re-pointing of the stonework will begin soon, so don't surprised if you see scaffolding on the west face of the church. Gary Jones (Jones Brick & Stone) and an assistant will be doing the work. If you look carefully at the angled buttress nearest to the parish hall entry, you'll see why this is an urgent need. (Count the cracks; some of them actually run through some of the stones!)
Thanks for your ongoing support!
Food for thought from Buddhist writer and practitioner David
Brazier . . .
We depend through the whole of life on the support of others—upon the
natural world, upon other people, and, spiritually, upon the tradition of
wisdom that has come down to us through human history. . . Our dependency is
not a cause for despair but rather leads to a sense of wonderment and
gratitude, which is the moving force of true spirituality.
See you in
church!
Blessings, Heidi+
