FROM THE RECTOR

What a perfect day for our Annual Parish Picnic on Sunday – a little cool, a nice breeze to keep the bugs away and bright sunshine! The food was delicious, as always. So many people pitched in to make it a success:
·         Our grill masters, George and Bruce, who cooked and transported the grills to the park
·         Our shopper, David, who made sure we had everything we needed for the picnic
·         Our altar guild, Lisa, who brought everything we needed for the service
·         Gretchen, who provided and transported the altar flowers
·         Our musicians, Preston on keyboard and Val on harp
·         Everyone who brought side dishes and desserts

Thank you all for a wonderful day!

The first St. Andrew’s Open Golf Tournament will be held on Tuesday, September 17, 2019! You may remember mention of this possibility as a fund raiser for our outreach efforts at our Annual Meeting in February. A small group has been working on making it a reality over the past several months – Jim Theodore, Jonathan Brady, George and Patti Rau and Sally DeGroot. Jim had the idea initially, and has arranged for the tournament to be held at Bald Peak Colony Club in Moultonborough, known as one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in the Lakes Region. The tournament proceeds will help support Dinner Bell, the Community Food Pantry, Eleanor’s Project and all of the organizations we support financially each year.

We are close to completing the printed information needed to advertise and recruit sponsors and golfers - a flyer, registration form and informational packet for sponsors. And we are about to need your help. The tournament is limited to 40 golfers (ten foursomes), on a first come, first served basis, and 18 sponsorships are available (one sponsor for each hole). Please spread the word to any golfers you know, and if you have ideas or connections to businesses or organizations that might be interested in being a sponsor, please let one of the above named committee members know.

The entrance fee is $195 per golfer, and includes lunch, greens fees, use of a golf cart, a shirt and the opportunity to win prizes. Golfers may sign up as a foursome or as individuals or pairs.

Sponsorships are available at $500, $750 and $1000, and sponsors’ businesses or organizations will have a sign strategically placed at one of the 18 holes.

We will have flyers available soon with all the details, but if you have questions you may speak to any of the committee members. Meanwhile, please let us know of any sponsor connections you know of. We are excited about this, and hope that it will become an annual event!

I will be on vacation June 28 – July 6, and Deb will be away July 5 -13. If you have a pastoral emergency while I am away please call the office or our Sr. Warden, Sally DeGroot (number below).

FORWARD DAY BY DAY

THURSDAY, June 27
Luke 22:27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
When we think about greatness, we basically imagine two types of people: those who are great and those who want to be great. We all recognize the egocentric folks and roll our eyes in disgust and pity. In my own field of medicine, I see this egocentrism all the time: unchecked ambition, singular focus; self-centeredness longs to see its name at the top, no matter what it takes to get there.
But I also see people like my friend Jack, someone who has quietly plugged along doing research and caring for patients because he wants to see neurosurgery improve. For as long as I have known him, he has wanted to serve this field of medicine. Spend any time around him, and you see a great man who serves others with his gifts and talents. He makes an impact wherever he goes.
Jesus urges us to forget about being the greatest and simply serve those he loves with authenticity.

MOVING FORWARD: How will you serve those you love most this week?
