FROM THE RECTOR
The Vestry had a good and productive retreat
today! Stay tuned for details of what we accomplished…
Congratulations to Donna Jones, recipient of the Quality of Life award last Thursday at the RSVP annual luncheon and awards
presentations. This top award was given to Donna in recognition of all she has done for the
Community Food Pantry!
The weather forecast for our Parish Picnic at
White Lake State Park on Sunday is looking good - sunny with a high of 80 and a
breeze. I hope you are planning to attend – scroll down for details on what to
bring. When you get to the gate tell the attendant that you are with St.
Andrew’s and you will not be charged the entrance fee. I’m hoping the forecast
for a nice breeze to keep the bugs away holds! (But bring bug spray just in
case.)

ANNUAL PARISH PICNIC
Parish Picnic
JUNE 23 at 10:30 AM
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.
ALTAR FLOWERS
Please consider signing up to dedicate flowers until your summer ones are blooming.
