Rev. Heidi and Duane are away on vacation  and will be returning Tuesday, March 5th.  If you need pastoral assistance, please call the office or contact Warden, Carol Tubman 539-2780 or Jr. Warden, Gretchen Behr-Svendsen 323-7459.

The Tuesday Group will be meeting this week (5th) for families. We’ll gather at 5:00 pm with our box suppers, eat together, then continue our Lenten Bible study and mask making project under Lisa Thompson’s guidance.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry book discussion group plans are underway.  Please indicate your preferences as to meeting times on the poster in the Parish Hall or email Debra with your preferences:

A) Thurs. evenings, Mar 7 & 14, with soup at 6pm, discussion at 6:30.
B) Tues. evenings, Mar 12 & 19, discussion at 7pm.
C) Wed. mornings, Mar 6 & 13, discussion at 10am.

 Our friends at church of the Holy Spirit in Plymouth thought we might be interested in this. Let our office know and Rev. Heidi will arrange for tickets.
Plymouth State U’s theatre program is performing Stephen Adly Guirgis’ 2005 play The Last Days of Judas Iscariot on the second weekend in March.  This thought-provoking, occasionally profane, sometimes wildly funny play re-imagines the fate of Judas in a contemporary setting.  Church of the Holy Spirit (and hopefully some folks from other local churches) will be seeing the show at the 2 PM performance on Saturday, March 9, and you are invited to come!  There is no group ticketing rate for this production, but if you want to be seated as part of the group, please let Grace know (996-1490, holyspiritrector@gmail.com) by Feb. 20.  You can also buy tickets on your own through the Silver Center box office (535-2787).  After the show we will adjourn to “Beyond the Bean” on Main Street to discuss the play.

 Blessings,
Heidi+

Winter Weather Advisory!!!  Please keep in mind during the winter when the weather looks questionable for safe travel to call the church before you leave home to check for schedule changes. If a storm comes in on Saturday evening or Sunday, I will make a judgment by 6:30 AM about whether to hold, cancel, or delay services. Cancellations will also be announced on WMWV radio 93.5.

Enjoy a Sabbath morning at home and remember St. Andrew’s in your prayers.*******
