FROM THE RECTOR
All the Steak and Lobster Dinners I’ve been to
have been excellent, but I think this one may have been the best yet!
Everything was so good – the lobster was so sweet, the steak so tasty and
tender, the steamers, the salad, and oh, the corn! It was undoubtedly picked
that morning. My brother couldn’t stop raving about it (poor thing – I don’t
think he’d ever had fresh picked corn before!). And of course the blueberry
buckle and ice cream was the perfect ending.
On top of the delicious food, the event couldn’t
have run more smoothly. Kudos to Sally DeGroot, our fearless leader and
organizer extraordinaire! It was like a well-oiled machine. Many thanks to all
of her helpers as well, too numerous to name. But the set up and serving crew
were great – Kevin, Patti, Barbara, Lin and Dale; Jay and his cooking crew –
Victor DeGroot and Joe Mills; Lisa, who took all the pictures below; and
Preston, decked out for the occasion and server/busboy! Plus everyone who
brought supplies, butter and blueberry buckle. And thanks to Chris for MC-ing
the event. Thanks to his announcement, the tables and chairs were put away in
record time – Chris, you’re hired! It truly takes a village – or in this case,
a congregation.
I was happy to have my brother from Vicksburg, MS
here. He decided it was time to escape the heat of the Deep South and found our
weather delightful - not to mention the Steak and Lobster Dinner, surely the
highlight of his visit. Thank you for so warmly welcoming him.
On Sunday we celebrated the Baptism of Kenny Guymon,
Marti Shedd’s grandson. What a precious baby! He and his mom, Jen, live in
Utah, but will be back for another visit soon. Thank you to the Prayer Shawl
Ministry members for a lovely reception following the service.
Here is a note from Marti:
Oh Caroline! Thank you so much for sending all
these pictures and my many thanks to Lisa as well!! They're just
beautiful! And thank you all for being a part of one of the most beautiful
baptisms and one of the best days of our lives! So many people at St. Andrews
made it so exceptionally beautiful for us and we are so very appreciative!
Thank you!
Be sure to look at the pictures from the baptism
too.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Healer
(A Reflection
on) Psalm 107:17-22
We
look to you for graceful balm,
your
medicine for our interior life.
Reach
toward our old heartaches.
Help
us to end what causes distress,
to
release what stunts our growth
in
becoming all we are meant to be.
Show
us our troublesome blind spots
so
we are not secretly ruled by them.
Touch
the soreness of our spirit
and
heal us of our inner ailments.
Today: I bring what
hurts in me to the Healer.

Name, by Joyce Rupp.

COMMUNITY FOOD CENTER- FOOD PANTRY
FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER
FROM DEB IN THE OFFICE
I will be out of the office on Thursday and Friday this week.
Working full time had brought it's own challenges to keeping my volunteer jobs. Now I have a family illness that requires my attention and need to step down from my outside volunteer jobs. I have loved giving my dedication to each of them but need to recognize my limits. I have found a replacement for my Board Chair position with the Emergency Food and Shelter Program and now need to fill my volunteer position as Treasurer for the Community Food Center. I am hoping to have my replacement in place within the next 4 months before I resign my position January 2020 (or sooner if possible). Please contact me in the office if you might be interested in helping out and would like more information. Thank you.
