FROM THE RECTOR

I hope that you will be able to join us for George Donovan’s funeral this Saturday at 1:00. George and his wife, June, who were long time members of St. Andrew’s, are Joan Marshall’s parents and Kaitlyn Marshall’s grandparents. A reception will follow the service, and both George’s and June’s ashes will be interred in the St. Andrew’s Memorial Garden later this year (when the snow has melted and the ground has thawed!). I know that Joan, John and Kaitlyn appreciate your prayers and your support.


Our Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday, February 2, following our 9:00 service and potluck brunch. The Vestry will provide egg dishes, including Sammie’s cheese grits! Please plan to attend to attend and bring a side dish of your choice.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY

Please keep in mind during the winter when the weather looks questionable for safe travel to call the church before you leave home to check for schedule changes. If a storm comes in on Saturday evening or Sunday, I will make a judgment by 7:00 AM about whether to hold, cancel, or delay services. Cancellations will posted on WMUR9. PLEASE do not travel if it feels unsafe to you. Enjoy a Sabbath morning at home and remember St. Andrew’s in your prayers.

If only the 8:00 a.m. service is cancelled, an email will be sent out to the regular 8:00 attendees.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Jesus calls each of us to follow him. The particular way in which we follow will be an expression of who we are and of what we desire to become. This particular way of following will be a unique gift that we alone can offer back to God.

COMMUNITY FOOD CENTER
The Food Pantry thanks you for your contributions throughout the year.
The monthly item for January is shampoo/conditioner.


The Community Food Center (CFC), which operates out of St. Andrew’s Church on Old Route 25 in Tamworth, is looking for new volunteers to help with this important program.  The Center is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10:00 am to noon for clients to come in and pick up their food. On each of these days, two volunteers staff the Center and a CFC Board Member is on hand to help and answer questions. Scheduling is done bi-monthly and substitutes provide flexibility for volunteers who have other commitments.
