Services for this
coming Sunday, November 24th, the Last Sunday after Pentecost
and Our Final Ingathering Celebration, will be at 8 and 10 at which time all
the pledges will be offered to God in Thanksgiving during the liturgy.
A message from your
Stewardship Committee: Thanks to the many people who have responded by
turning in pledges for the coming year! It is only by knowing what the church
can expect to receive that the Finance Committee and Vestry are able to make
budgetary decisions for 2014. If you have misplaced your pledge, additional
cards are available on the piano. Completed pledge cards may be put in the
offering plate on Sunday or mailed to the church office. Once you have turned
yours in, be sure to open your “door” on
our Grounded in Giving tree on
the piano … and if you’ve forgotten your number, or if you find that yours has
been opened already, just open any door, folding it back firmly, so the picture
can be seen. Questions? Talk to Gretchen or Lisa (or Debra in the office).
Saint Andrew's Harvest Supper and Pie Auction TOMORROW NIGHT! Tickets will be available at the door. Plan to come
and invite your friends! We are hoping that many of you will provide your
delicious baked pies (pies that can be frozen for Thanksgiving feasts are
especially welcome) to be auctioned following the meal, beginning at about
7:30pm. Note: Pies should be delivered on
the day of the dinner/auction by 3 p.m.
A message from the
Food Pantry: The Food Pantry is always grateful for your contributions of
food, but at this time of year, as preparations are being made for the
Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets, please know that cash contributions are especially helpful, since Food Pantry
purchasers are able to buy items at much reduced prices, so your contribution
dollars go further! Thank you.
