St. Andrew’s Announcements
for the week of March 7, 2010
Mary Magdalene Lecture: Joan Baldridge will present a lecture titled: "Mary
Magdalene: Saint or Sinner? Are You Sure?" on MARCH 13, 2010, from 9 am to Noon, followed by lunch.
Cost for lunch is $5.00. Ms.
Baldridge is a noted scholar on
Mary Magdalene and how she was portrayed in art from the third century to the
twenty first century. In her lecture she will also examine the scriptural
and non-scriptural basis for the
many stories and myths about this popular saint. She calls the lectures a work-in-progress, constantly being
revised and expanded.
Disaster Relief: Once again an earthquake has devastated a country-this time Chile. The Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) is standing by waiting to help, but all that has been requested at this time is our prayer. The vicar will send contributions to ERD from this congregation once the call is made. If you wish to contribute, please note ERD in the memo line of your check.
March Giving Tree: The giving tree outreach for this month
is a collection of school supplies for Nelson-Wilkes-Herron School. Watch the
tree for a list of needed supplies.
Holy Week Schedule: [Note the change in the schedule for
Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday.] We will have the Wednesday Eucharist, a Maundy Thursday service at 5:30,
Good Friday service at noon, Easter Vigil at 8:00 pm and two services on Easter
Sunday: 8:00 and 10:30. An Easter Egg Hunt will be held after
the 10:30 Service.
Pub Theology: Our next meeting of Pub Theology will
be March 3rd at 6:00. Childcare is
available upon request. Please contact
Amanda Freudensprung at 424-0884, or by e-mail at
amandadawn05@centurytel.net.
Calligrapher Needed: If you
or anyone you know is a calligrapher, please let Megan in the church office
know. We have a need to update one
of the church documents and need your help.
Vestry Highlights: At the recent vestry meeting, the
Vision Statement, Goals, and Plans for 2010 developed at the Vestry Retreat
were approved. Steve Cushing was
elected to serve as our Junior Warden. In addition, the vestry approved the establishment of a Second Mile
Giving Fund, a designated account for contribution to expand our ministries.
Adult Forum: We are now discussing Russill Paul's book, Jesus in the Lotus. If you did not get a copy, there are some in the office. The cost is $10.00 and the check should be made out to Melinda Motley. Please join in the conversation. It's always interesting and uplifting!
