Wednesday Evening Services
In December we will
have a Blue Christmas service on
Wednesday, December 13, at 5:30 pm. This service is open to everyone, but
is particularly for those who struggle with the holiday season due to some sort
of loss: death of a spouse, a child, a sibling, a close friend; loss of a job
or a house; a loved one who suffers from addiction; or any loss that is
difficult, and makes it hard to be merry. It is a service of remembrance and at
the same time, a time to lift up our blessings even as we grieve a loss.
Mark your calendar
for Wednesday, January 10 at 5:30 pm when
we will have an evening prayer service drawing on the Celtic tradition.
More on that to come.

SEARCH COMMITTEE -
The Parish
Profile is completed!
Click on “Parish Profile” button to read!
With joy at the completion of the Parish Profile,
the Search Committee now begins a new phase of its work: the receiving and
reading of applications from our prospective candidates. The applications,
vetted by the Bishop and The Rev. Canon Hannah Anderson, will be sent to us
from Diocesan House in Concord. After this, we will conduct Skype interviews
with each of the candidates. We think, with time given to prayerful reflection,
that this phase will occupy us through November. If so, we will start
scheduling visits to parishes in Advent.
We continue to be encouraged by your prayers: keep
them coming!
Lisa Thompson,
Search Committee

TIME-LINE for 2017

Reading and reviewing applications.
Prayer for St. Andrew’s
during the search process.
Everliving and everloving Lord,
as we are in the midst of our challenging task to search for our new rector, we
pray that you continue to lead our parish to be in one mind and spirit through
the conclusion of this journey. May we be strong in the assurance that
you are guiding us and carrying us safely to calling the person you have chosen
to be our rector. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
