Psalm 29
Acts 10:34-43
Matthew 3:13-17
FROM THE INTERIM RECTOR
Would you like to
be an Acolyte?
Acolyte
training is coming soon! If you or your child would like to be an acolyte
please contact Caroline at InterimSAITV@gmail.com
or 323-8515. It’s a great way to learn about liturgy, and to serve God and St.
Andrew’s. Training date TBD, but will be after the 10:00 service on a Sunday
morning in the near future.
Rector’s
Discretionary Fund Donations Needed
As
winter weather settles in more people are in need of shelter, heating oil and
other forms of assistance. One of the ways that St. Andrew’s helps people in
need is through the Rector’s Discretionary Fund. It is a separate checking
account, available to the Rector to assist people with a variety of needs:
assistance with rent, utility bills, heating fuel, emergency shelter, etc. At our outreach meeting in December I
mistakenly said that the Rector’s Discretionary Fund was in good shape (I
believe I was thinking of the fund at my previous church). In fact, there is
very little money available. I have recently used it for heating assistance and
shelter, and the balance is down to just over $150. If you would like to make a
donation to this ministry of St. Andrew’s please make your check payable to Rector’s
Discretionary Fund.
Many
thanks,
Caroline

FOOD FOR
THOUGHT
Epiphany
The wizard kings
observed celestial signs
a
moving eastern star especially bright
cast
shadows in the pitchest dark of night
a
hint enough to agitate their minds
And,
journeying through a sleeping world, they found
a
manger pin-pricked by a point of heaven
a
tiny entry vivifies - like leaven;
a
break in lifeless patterns - round and round;
a
growing beam of light revealing all.
We
thought we knew until we saw it clear
the
manger glowed with knowledge God was near.
Who’d
ever seen their Maker in a stall?
Light
shines unbidden shows the way. We see
new
truth, new light, new life - Epiphany. - Harold
MacDonald
