Services
for this coming Sunday,
April 28th, the Fifth Sunday of Easter, will be at 8 and 10 am. Coffee hour
follows both services.
Readings for this Sunday: Acts 11:1-18; Psalm 148; Revelation 21:1-6; John 13:31-35.
The interment
of Jim Brown’s ashes in our
memorial garden will follow the 10:00 service today. His family invites his St. Andrew’s friends
to join us for this very brief service.
At long
last spring is really springing! Only nine days until our Spring Clean-up Work
Day on 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! There are less rigorous indoor jobs as well. And if you expect to be
away on the 5th and would like to lend a head ahead of time, bring a
rake and a tarp, and feel free to take on a bit a lawn! (Contents of your tarp
should get hauled back into the woods away
from the path to the Meditation Grove.)
FYI: The Mystery Dinner tomorrow evening is
SOLD OUT! This is great news for all except those who would love to attend
but for whom we have no tickets! We do have a waiting list. And if for some
reason you find that you will be unable to use the tickets you have already
purchased or reserved, PLEASE call the office and let us know. We may very well
be able to re-sell your ticket.
Food for thought from Archbishop of
Canterbury William Temple from a radio broadcast to the United States in 1940…
I am disposed to begin by making what many
people will feel to be a quite outrageous statement. This world can be saved
from political chaos and collapse by one thing only and that is worship. For to
worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind
with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to devote
the will to the purpose of God.
It has been said that “Americans worship
their work, work at their play, and play at their worship.” It is only when we
worship Jesus Christ and place Him central in our lives does all of life gain
meaning.
Do you “Worship the Lord your God, and
serve Him only?” Today in prayer, fix your thoughts on our Wonderful Savior and
carry that prayer into serving Him.
See you in
church!
Easter
Blessings,
