FROM THE RECTORI
am pleased to announce that two of our parishioners are interested in being
licensed to preach. Both are seminary trained and have experience preaching
elsewhere. Ann is one of four ministers at Chocorua Church who rotate leading
services there and has extensive experience in the Diocese of CT as well.
Christi preached regularly at St. James Episcopal Church, Groveland, MA as part
of her role as Minister of Spiritual Care.
The
process for becoming a licensed preacher in the Diocese of NH requires study at
the School of Ministry for those with less experience and training than Christi
and Ann have. Because of their level of experience they will both preach at St.
Andrew’s several times and meet with me for discussion and feedback after each
sermon. On my recommendation to the Bishop they will then be licensed.
Ann
is preaching this Sunday, and Christi will preach on February 20. I anticipate
that they will each continue to preach every other month. I’m excited for this
opportunity for them and for us – it is always enriching and formative to hear
different voices from the pulpit. (And I admit I won’t mind a break from
preaching every week!) Thank you, Ann and Christi!
Blessings, CarolineING

Introduction to Diocesan Capital Campaign From an earlier Thursday Memo:
After many years of consideration, Bishop Rob and leaders of the Diocese have decided to explore the readiness of Episcopalians in New Hampshire to support a capital campaign to raise funds for the vitality of the church.
We will be sharing updates with you so we can all follow the progress with the whole diocese. There is a dedicated area on the diocesan website devoted to this effort. There is also a brief survey there to share your thoughts about the proposed projects to help complete a diocesan vision. Please review the videos on the website from Bishop Rob and those who have already benefited from the proposed funding areas. https://www.givingsites.com/deeproots

Hymn 435
1 At the name of Jesus every knee
shall bow,
every tongue confess him King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
2 At his voice creation sprang at
once to sight:
all the angel faces, all the hosts of light,
thrones and dominations, stars upon their way,
all the heavenly orders in their great array.
3 Humbled for a season, to receive
a name
from the lips of sinners, unto whom he came;
faithfully he bore it spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious when from death he passed;
4 bore it up triumphant, with its
human light,
through all ranks of creatures, to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast,
filled it with the glory of that perfect rest.
5 In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true.
Look to him, your Savior, in temptations' hour;
let his will enfold you in its light and power.
6 Christians, this Lord Jesus
shall return again,
with his Father's glory o'er the earth to reign;
for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him King of glory now.
