The services for this
coming Sunday, September 22nd, the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost, will
be at 8 and 10 AM, with coffee hour following each service.
Readings for this
Sunday: Jeremiah 8:18-9:1; Psalm 79:1-9; 1
Timothy 2:1-7; Luke 16:1-13.
There is a Service of
Morning Prayer every Wednesday at 9 AM. We hope you will join us for
worship and fellowship.
Plan to be with us on Sunday
September 29th. Tom Reinfuss, our postulant for the
vocational diaconate, has begun his training program, which will keep him
occupied at churches other than St. Andrew’s on most Sunday’s, and because of
this, we will be seing less of Peg as well. On the 29th we will give
them our official send-off – knowing that, since we are Tom’s home parish, they
will continue to be part of us. Tom will take the pulpit that Sunday to bring
us up to speed about the details of his journey forward, we will give them a
special blessing, and honor them at coffee hour..
A new parish
directory is in the works!!! Now we need your picture! Duane will be here
on Sunday to do photos after the service.
Please see him in the “photo studio corner” of the Parish Hall. If you have
already left town for the season or happen to have a favorite “head shot” of
your own, you are welcome to email your picture to Debra in the office
(office@standrewsinthevalley.org). Even if we have your picture from a previous
directory, maybe it’s time to update it? Thanks.
The next Lakes Region Convocation
meeting will be held here at St Andrew's on Tuesday, October 1st.
This is a wonderful opportunity to hear about the resolutions for our Diocesan
Convention in November, so consider yourself invited! And since we are the host
parish, we are the providers of refreshments for the evening. If you can lend a
hand with refreshments and radical hospitality, please talk to Bruce Kennedy,
our Senior Delegate.

| Jams & jellies 2012 |
Preparations
are continuing for the Sandwich Fair – October 12-14. If you can make jams and jellies- great! Also looking for donated baked goods for the fair in addition to preserves, specifically: small-sized quick breads, whoopie pies, and cookies. These are preferable and seem to be more what fairgoers want over full-sized pies (but we definitely will want those for the pie auction!) and cakes. Contributors need to contact Carol Tubman at cctubman@msn.com about preserves that they are making or Lynne Clough at littlefarm239@roadrunner.com about baked goods. Lynne has collected many recipes for different types of whoopie pies and is happy to share them. The standard chocolate with vanilla cream filling did not sell as well as the fall-flavored ones, such as pumpkin and gingerbread. Carol will be preparing labels for all food products, so she will need to be e-mailed a list of ingredients and quantities of whatever will be contributed. Gretchen is the person to call (323-7459) with offers to decorate gourds and to cover shifts at St. Andrew's place at the fair.
A sign-up sheet for volunteering at the Fair is in the Parish Hall. Please be sure to note the time and day for yourself and find a substitute if you are unable to be there. Thank you in advance for your help.
Look for the signup for baking next week.

Food Pantry Donations: We are a low on some foods and on
miscellaneous “non-food” items. If you have a chance to add to our Sunday food
basket or drop items off during church open hours, it would be greatly
appreciated. Suggestions: Mac n’ cheese,
spaghetti sauce, instant coffee, shampoo, dish soap, evaporated milk, elbow
macaroni. Thank you. Peg R.
