Dear Friends:
This Sunday, November 17th
is
Ingathering Sunday
for our 2020 Stewardship Campaign! We will officially bless those pledges already received. You may also bring your pledge card on that day. As we are nearing the Thanksgiving season, this is a great time to contemplate all of the gifts God has given us and consider how we may use our gifts--our time, talents, and treasure--to build up the Kingdom of God in this place.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Kevin Holland Sparrow, Rector
Brian Joyce, Warden
Sarah Hogan, Stewardship Chair

ST. ANDREW’S COOKIE SALE

as part of the Hanover 4 Corners Winter Festival
|
ON YOUR MARK…GET SET…BAKE!
Our Annual Cookie Sale is fast approaching! Once again this year, our sale will be part of the Hanover Four Corners Winter Festival. This is a wonderful opportunity for people to come to St. Andrews, meet our parishioners, and buy some cookies!
There will be a
COOKIE NIGHT
on Thursday, December 5th at 6:00 pm
in the Parish Hall kitchen if you would like to come and bake or decorate some cookies.
Or you can bring your cookies to the church by
4:00 PM
the day of the event. Please provide a label that gives the name of the cookies and tells whether they contain nuts. *While chocolate chip cookies are delicious, we tend to have many leftover, so we don't need too many of those. People seem to like the fancier, holiday cookies!*
As usual, we will be selling them by the pound, so no meringues, please.
Thank you all for your hard work in making this Cookie Sale a favorite community holiday tradition!
