FROM THE RECTOR
A Huge Thank You to Beverly
Hammond!
Many thanks to Bev for serving as
Dinner Bell Coordinator for the past year and a half +! She has done a terrific job with the myriad
duties that coordinating Dinner Bell each Sunday entails. I, along with the
various Dinner Bell teams and our guests are so very grateful!
Bev has been reminding us since
January that a new coordinator needs to be identified, as she will step down
from her duties on June 10. So far that has not happened, and we hope that
someone will soon step forward. The duties of the coordinator include the
following:
1.
Schedule and organize the Annual
Dinner Bell meeting in May
a.
Discussion of any Dinner Bell related
items or suggestions
b.
Schedule the Cook Teams for the
following year June-July
c.
Update the Cook Teams contact list
2.
Compile an Excel list of all the
weekly Dinner Bell Meals from the individual Cook Teams weekly information given to Debra Hoyt, St.
Andrew’s-in-the-Valley Parish Administrator. Debra provides the written
information to the Coordinator every couple of weeks.
3.
Emailing all the Dinner Bell Cook
Teams the latest Dinner Bell Meals information provided by Debra.
4.
The Dinner Bell Coordinator is the
contact person for any Dinner Bell Cook Teams scheduling and ensuring coverage
for Dinner Bell if a Cook Team has to cancel or reschedule.
5.
The Coordinator is the contact if a Cook Team
cancels due to inclement weather and to coordinate and communicate with St.
Andrew’s rector or member of the St. Andrew’s vestry if Dinner Bell is
cancelled. Post sign if possible on the Dinner Bell entrance door that Dinner
Bell has been cancelled.
6.
The Coordinator is the contact for any
questions raised by the Cook Teams and the contact to communicate and
coordinate with the staff at St. Andrew’s if needed.
7.
The Coordinator prepares the Dinner
Bell Report for St. Andrew’s Annual Meeting which is held in February and the
report is due early in January. The Coordinator attends the Annual Meeting as representative from Dinner
Bell and highlights any thing about the report and answer any questions asked.
8.
The Coordinator has a computer and a
basic knowledge of email, word, excel.
9.
The Coordinator enjoys working with
people as team player; enjoys being a conduit for serving delicious home cooked
meals to the community and providing a welcoming venue for people to eat and
socialize.
10. The
Coordinator has fun being part of a vibrant and vital community outreach

ANNUAL PARISH PICNIC
THE DATE FOR OUR ANNUAL PARISH PICNIC AT WHITE LAKE STATE PARK HAS BEEN CHANGED TO JUNE 23 at 10:30 AM due to a scheduling conflict for the Rector. A regular service of Holy Eucharist will also be held as usual at the church at 8 AM. Our event will be held rain or shine since the pavilion is under cover. This has proved to be a fun community event, so feel free to invite friends and family members who might not regularly join you for church. The worship service will begin at about 10:30 (not our regular 10:00), and will be followed by the picnic. You are free to stay and enjoy the park until park closing time.
When you come through the “check-in gate” just tell them you are there for Saint Andrew’s Picnic, then proceed to the pavilion. Set-up will be taking place from 9:00 on, so feel free to arrive early to drop off your food and get settled. The site is wheelchair accessible, including the bathrooms. Burgers, hotdogs, buns, and beverages will be provided, but you are invited to bring something for the food table: chips, salads, or dessert. The swimming at White Lake is excellent and good for children as well as adults; the water warms up early. Bring your kayak if you want to enjoy the whole late.
The official amount that the church will pay for pavilion use is $5 per person, BUT WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR THE EVENT. If you want to come, come! If you would like to help subsidize the cost to the church, we welcome your contribution, large or small. (Checks can be made out to St. Andrew’s with a memo: for parish picnic.)
What to bring: A food table contribution of chips, salad, or dessert, informal clothing suitable to the weather, including an extra layer in case it gets chilly
Optional: A comfortable portable chair (the pavilion has only backless picnic tables), swim suit and towel (if you want), sunscreen, kayak or swim toys
Directions from the south: The White Lake State Park entrance is on the left about a three-minute drive north from the West Ossipee intersection of Route 25 W and Rte 16. (Think McDonald’s, then head north toward Conway.)
Directions from the north: It is on the right about 3.5 miles south from Chocorua Village.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Ascension
Day, the 40th day after Easter, when Jesus ascended into heaven,
is
today, May 30.
Alleluia! Not as
orphans are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes, nor questions how:
though the cloud from sight received him,
when the forty days were o’er,
shall our hearts forget his promise,
"I am with you evermore"?
William Chatterton
Dix (1837-1898)
(Second verse of Alleluia! Sing to Jesus [# 460 and 461,1982 Hymnal])
