Advent & Christmas in Word and Art :  A Thrill of Hope  is a DVD-based study that presents the familiar story of Christmas as told in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Each scripture passage is illustrated and interpreted in the stunning artwork of John August Swanson along with commentary by some of America’s premier Biblical scholars. Join us after the 10:00 service on December 9th, 16th, and 23rd as we reflect and prepare for the coming of the Savior. If you'd like to participate, please let the office know as soon as possible by emailing Carole at office@standrewshanover.org  or calling 781-826-2062 so we can order participant materials.
STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN 2019
St. Andrew’s has been blessed with the arrival of our new priest, The Reverend Kevin H. Sparrow, and we look forward to a new and promising chapter in the life of our congregation. We will now have indelible church leadership which will allow us to set and achieve both our immediate and long-term goals to grow, serve and partake in God’s work. New leadership along with the gifts that each member brings to our church home and the surrounding community has instilled a renewed sense of purpose and vitality to our parish.

Our Vestry has set our Stewardship campaign goal at $120,000 which will enable us not only to maintain but expand our current ministries of worship, service, and fellowship both within our parish and in the larger community. Pledge cards have been mailed and should be arriving this week. Additional pledge cards and envelopes are available in the Narthex or you can call the office to have Carole send one to you.

I encourage you to reflect on how St. Andrew’s has enriched your life and ask you to prayerfully consider a pledge this year, or an increase in your pledge from last year as you are led by the Spirit during this exciting time for our church.


Thank you!
Brian Joyce
Warden

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Special Offering for

In the wake of the devastating fire at Wakefield First Baptist Church, we will be having a special collection over the next two Sundays. All plate cash and checks will be donated to the restoration of their church. Please mark "Wakefield First Baptist Church" on the memo line. For an article regarding the fire, click this link - Wakefield Church Fire or visit their Go Fund Me Page to make a personal donation.
