This Sunday’s Offertory
Much of the music this Sunday will be familiar. However, the choir will be singing something a little different, which supports the Old Testament lesson for the day.
Genesis 1 speaks of creation and the Creator, and the Native Americans had great reverence for creation. Today we honor God and the Native tradition in singing “Many and Great, O God, are Thy Works”. It was written in the 19th century by Joseph R. Renville, whose Mother was from the Dakota (Sioux) tribe. It became popular with the YWCA and included in the Dakota Hymnal. In the 20th century it was translated into English by Philip Frazier. We offer the English version found in the Hymnal 1982, # 385.

United Thank Offering
Last week you received a little blue box as you left our church service. What is it? And What do I do with it?
The United Thank Offering is a ministry of the Episcopal Church since 1889. The main goal is to count your blessings every day. It was practiced and encouraged by Jesus, it helps our mental attitudes, and it makes us happier people! As we place our coins in the box every day, our blessings become blessings for others.
So pick a place for your blue box that will remind you of your blessings. They will be in the Narthex as you enter St. Andrew’s. We will have an ingathering on Rally Day this fall of 2023.

Gardening Help
Do you like to garden? Want to help beautify the campus for all to be reminded of God's creation? Would you like to maintain a beautiful spot for our souls laid at rest?
Join our Memorial Garden Care Crew! Come up once a month (or whenever you have time) and help pluck weeds, plant a few plants, and just generally spruce up the front of the church. We're in desperate need of a few able bodies to beautify the church. Contact Kathleen if interested.
