The Rev. Frederick Charles Cowper, circa 1928

FROM THE RECTOR

SAVE THE DATE! St. Andrew's will celebrate our 95th anniversary on August 7, 2022. Plans are well underway to celebrate our origins with a focus on The Rev. Frederick Charles Cowper, the first priest who served the community that would become St. Andrew's. The Rev. Cowper (pronounced "Cooper") was a retired English clergyman and a beloved pastor whose ministry in Carroll County from 1912-1929 inspired the building of our church. he walked or drove his horse and buggy on dirt roads bringing instruction and celebrating Holy Communion in farmhouses along the way. When he  heard that a small group of families in Whittier dreamed of building their own church, he gave the idea his support and encouragement and the new church building was dedicated on July 6, 1927.

More details to follow!

The CDC continues to classify Carroll County in the low range for community spread of Covid. This will be updated as needed, but for now masks are optional in church.

Blessings, Caroline

PRAYER FOR UKRAINE 

"God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The Wind Will Show Its Kindness

A man

born blind can easily

deny the magnificence of a vast landscape.

 

He can easily deny all the wonders that he cannot touch,

smell, taste, or hear.

 

But one day the wind will show you its kindness

and remove the tiny patches that

covered our eyes,

 

and we will see God more clearly

than we have ever seen

ourselves.

                                            ~ Meister Eckhart
