FROM THE RECTOR
Barbara Lord and her
quilting crew have finished the quilt! It was on display on Sunday and is
simply beautiful! I can’t begin to name all the people who were involved in
this project, but there was a wonderful group of people – some seasoned
quilters and others learning, or just lending moral support or providing
refreshments. In the weeks leading up to its completion, there were people here
quilting away several mornings a week. It is truly a labor of love. Abundant
thanks to you all!
Be sure to purchase raffle tickets if you
haven’t already, and pick some up to take with you and sell. They are $5.00
each or five for $20.00. Tickets are available in the office during the week
and Patti Rau will have them for sale on Sundays while Hettie is away. The drawing
will be

***************************************
Praying
It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

Luke 10:29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
As a child, my neighbors were mostly folks who were African-American and Protestant, just like me. I now live in a neighborhood full of various ethnicities and faiths. My understanding of who my neighbors are has changed.
The lawyer who challenges Jesus before the parable of the good Samaritan represents the strong tribal sensibility of biblical societies. For the lawyer, neighbors are fellow Jews, not Samaritans. At the end of the story, Jesus changes the lawyer’s question by asking if the priest, the Levite, or the Samaritan in the story was a neighbor. That is, who was the true neighbor? The parable’s true heart is found in Leviticus 19:34: “The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
God has created all people, and in God’s neighborhood tribal divisions are irrelevant and our neighbors are all of God’s people, whether or not they look, act, or believe as we do.
MOVING FORWARD: Pray for your neighbors, even the grumpy ones.

ChIP’s and UNITED THANK OFFERING
PLEASE turn in your contributions by this Sunday, October 28th
The CHiPs program (Children of Incarcerated Persons) collects gifts and monetary donations ($25 this year) to be given to the children of those who are in prison.
UTO: The first priority of The United Thank Offering is to encourage the spiritual practice of gratitude and then to give grants from the abundant collection of coins and bills given each year to our Blue Boxes. In 2018 the United Thank Offering annual grant recipients, seminarian and young adult grant recipients are working towards evangelism and reconciliation as a part of the Jesus Movement. The United Thank Offering of the Episcopal Church awarded 47 grants for a total of $1,169,969.55 for the mission and ministry of The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. The 2018 grants were awarded to 34 Episcopal Church Dioceses, 8 Companion Relationships, 4 International Dioceses/ Provinces and 1 to continue our tradition of supporting Episcopal Church missionaries.

If you are giving by check to St. Andrew’s, please mark in the memo line “ChIPs or UTO”. You may leave your contributions in the office or drop them in the collection plate.
Thank you for your generosity to these very important outreach programs.
