From your Interim Rector
Giving as an Act Of Love
In the New Testament scriptures there is a lot of talk about love. Some examples are
- “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
- “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” (John 13:34)
-
“If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all my possessions and if I hand over my body so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13)
Love in the scriptures isn’t about emotion. It’s a decision to act for the good of the other. Jesus, being born into the world, is an act of love for our good. Jesus directing us to love as he loves is an admonition to act in ways toward others that are for their good.
Your giving to St. Andrew’s for its mission in our communities is an act of love. It enables us, in turn, to be a force of love. As you consider your giving to St. Andrew’s, I encourage you to pledge an amount that reflects your love and that furthers the work that God would have us do.
If you did not receive our pledge materials in the mail, you can access them by clicking the links below.

Announcements
St. Andrew’s Rummage Sale
We’re having a Rummage Sale on Saturday, Nov. 19 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- We encourage you to drop off your “stuff” but it has to be nice “stuff.”
- No books and only good clothes.
- We would appreciate any help that parishioners (and others) are willing to provide.
- Donations should be dropped off at the back door of the church building.
Thanksgiving Outreach
This year we are partnering with Chef Roman to help those in need. We are asking for your participation by collecting canned goods, blankets, socks, mittens, scarfs, jackets, and shoes, that will help get anyone through our cold winter season. Our goal is to fill up a wagon that you’ll see in the Vestibule as you enter the church.
Chef Roman will also be offering a free plated meal on Thanksgiving morning from 9 am - 1 pm in the parish hall for families in need. If you’d like to assist with the meals, please speak to Chef Roman.
This is a great opportunity for us to reach outside our walls to those in need in the community.
On Taking Communion
We’ve been offering communion only by intinction (dipping your host into the wine) since the onset of the Covid epidemic. We are now past the point of intinction being the only accepted means for the reception of communion. You now have the choice of taking a sip from the common communion cup or continuing to receive communion by intinction. The choice is yours.
However, if you're feeling ill at all, if you feel a cold coming on, please do not drink from the common cup. Please dip your host into the wine or receive only the consecrated bread. The Episcopal Church believes that if you receive communion from only one of the elements of consecrated bread or wine, you still receive the fullness of communion.

Watch over your people
O Lord, as their days increase;
bless and guide them wherever they may be.
Strengthen them when they stand;
comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful;
raise them up if they fall;
and in their hearts,

abide all the days of their lives;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
