Offertory Anthem
The composer of our offertory anthem, Bobby McFerrin, dedicated this piece to his mother. He also writes: "I wrote this feminine version of the 23rd Psalm to address a group of singers who felt excluded by the patriarchal aspects of the Bible. However, if anyone in your group is uncomfortable with this version, please choose the word (SHE or HE) that most suits your group's spiritual preference. Whether we visualize or praise the Lord in terms of gender or in other personal ways, the beauty of the 23rd Psalm is in the worship and in the music."

Prayers for Outreach Partners
We have started a practice of praying each week for one of the St. Andrew's outreach partners in the Prayers of the People. The outreach partners are charities that the parish supports with our time and donations from our parish budget. The aim of this new practice is both to hold the work of these charities in our prayers, and to familiarize the congregation with the different charities we support as we put our faith into action as a parish.
