A Memorial Service for the Rev. Elizabeth (Lee) Wiesner, mother of Elizabeth will be held here next Saturday, April 20th at 1:00 pm. Lee Wiesner was a long time resident of Chocorua and attended Saint Andrew’s. She served churches in Washington DC, Cambridge, and North Conway. She died peacefully in August of 2011.

Being the church in the community: Thank you to… Kathy, Melissa, Marty, and Gretchen for their involvement in the Community Fair for Tamworth non-profit organizations – “Together we are the difference!” The event was designed as a way for local organizations to make themselves known, along with providing an opportunity to invite volunteer participation in our work. It happened that among our team, everyone wore a variety of “hats.” Kathy is board chair of the Bearcamp Valley School, Melissa attended Bearcamp and now “represents” the Brett School, Gretchen tended the Food Pantry table, and Marty made the CASA program known, along with inviting folks to check out St. Andrew’s and our programs. Special thanks to Duane for his super photos and posters.
Planning ahead. Our Spring Clean-up Work Day is planned for Sunday
May 5th after the 9 AM service. Please
plan to bring your gloves and rakes to lend a helping hand in sprucing up our
grounds for the summer!Have Y-O-U purchased your tickets yet?
As
the sun is setting over the hills, you find yourself in the library of
Kirkstone Manor, a lovely old stone manor in the Lakes District. It is early evening on April 26th (but 1935,
not 2013), and the guests of Sir Roger Kirkstone have gathered in his ancestral
home for cocktails. Suddenly the butler
opens the door and announces, "Inspector Smythe of Scotland Yard."
You are about to become a murder suspect, and so is everyone else!
A mystery and
mouth-watering food . . . who could resist?
Come to Saint Andrew's-in-the-Valley Episcopal Church on Friday, April
26, for its second annual fundraising murder mystery dinner and help discover
exactly who done it as you dine on a four-course meal, courtesy of those
wonderful cooks in the kitchen of Saint Andrew's/Kirkstone Manor. Those in the attendance at last year's
Italian-themed murder mystery dinner were very impressed with the food, fun,
and suspense, so make sure you don't miss this year's event.
On the evening's menu are some very typical English delicious
offerings, beginning with an appetizer platter that is reminiscent of a
ploughman's lunch and ending with a heavenly trifle. You are welcome to bring your own ale or
wine. The price of admission is $20. And by partaking in the fun-raising English Manor Murder Mystery Dinner, you will also be helping to support some great causes; 50% of all funds raised through the event go to organizations that provide help to others in the local community and around the world, including these three: the Tamworth Community Food Center, Ossipee Concerned Citizens (for Meals on Wheels), and Starting Point.
Please call the church office at 323-8515 during its open hours of 9 am to noon Tuesdays through Fridays to make your reservations; call 986-0232 during other times. The feasting and festivities will begin at 6 pm sharp. Because the murder mystery is scheduled to unfold during the dinner, all guests must be seated by 6:15. A gift basket will be presented to one of the dinner guests who is a master at intrigue and solves the crime.
Food for thought and Good News for us as Easter people…
You don’t have to wait till you have died to receive the gift of eternal life – it begins now. When we receive the Holy Spirit into our lives, we are already, now being transformed, being made alive – already in the process of passing from death to life.
