FROM THE RECTOR
St. Andrew’s turns 92!
It’s our birthday! St. Andrew’s was consecrated on
August 6, 1927, on the Feast of the Transfiguration. We will celebrate this anniversary
on August 4 at our 9:00 service, and I hope you will be able to join us. Following
the service there will be a potluck coffee hour. Please plan to bring something
for coffee hour to add to our celebration.
Have you ever read the plaque in the back of the
church under the organ case? Here is what it says:
In Memory of
FREDERICK
CHARLES COWPER
Born in
Pernambugo, Brazil
August 9, 1851
Died in
Wolfeboro, New Hampshire
March 15 1929
For many years
a missioner in
Carroll County
This church is
his monument
His memorial
is written in the
hearts of
those who felt the
singular power
of his words
and in this
place seem still to
feel his
spirit hovering near
From our archives: “St. Andrew’s began in the
rural ministry of the Rev. Frederick Cowper (pronounced Cooper) who, in 1915,
walked the roads north of his Sanbornville parish bringing instruction and the
Eucharist to households along the way. By 1919 he was holding services at the
Whittier School adjacent to the present church consecrated by Bishop Dallas in
1927.” Stay tuned for more of our history in next week’s Thursday Memo.
Blessings,
Caroline

People can choose to sponsor a Backpack or two if they can or any amount they are able to donate. Each backpack including supplies cost about $15.00. Last year we provided 30 and this year I would like to provide between 50 - 100.
LOCAL EVENTS
The Man Who Came to Dinner
by George S. Kaufman & Moss
July 25 – August 3
at the Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth
“Life as they know it will never be the same for Mr. and Mrs. Stanley once radio celebrity Sheridan Whiteside arrives for dinner. Who knew there’d be penguins in the library and convicts in the foyer—and a whole lot more? Brilliant and witty, madcap and zany, this timeless classic combines the best of comedic literature with perfectly-crafted characters for one of the wildest romps ever in American theatre.” (Barnstormers publicity)
As a cast member, I can say there is never a dull moment in this play: the Stanley household is full of surprises. Come join us for a great evening (or matinee) of live - and lively - theatre!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Miracles
Why, who makes much of a miracle?
As to me I know of nothing else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,
Or stand under trees in the woods,
Or talk by day with any one I love, or sleep in the bed at night with any one I love,
Or sit at table at dinner with the rest,
Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,
Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon,
Or animals feeding in the fields,
Or birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,
Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars shining so quiet and bright,
Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring;
These with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,
The whole referring, yet each distinct and in its place.

To me every hour of the light and dark is a
miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,
Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,
Every foot of the interior swarms with the same.

To me the sea is a continual miracle,
The fishes that swim—the rocks—the motion of the waves—the
ships with men in them,
What stranger miracles are there?

FORWARD DAY BY DAY
THURSDAY, July 25
One of my favorite moments in the musical “Hamilton” is when George Washington tells Alexander Hamilton that he will step down from the presidency: “We’re gonna teach them how to say goodbye.” Washington wants the nation to outlive him; he knows that can’t happen if he becomes the focus of everyone ’s attention.
Jesus makes it clear that the holiest responsibility of a leader is to serve those who are being led. He isn’t concerned with power and influence or doling out grace and mercy to the highest bidder—they are free to everyone. He wants the focus to be on the message: serving the other, proclaiming peace, loving ourselves, loving our neighbor, and loving God.
MOVING FORWARD: How can you better serve those whom you lead—the folks at home, at work, in your social circle?
