Fall Formation for Adults Continues this Sunday


The Enneagram: An Introduction and Overview (Sept. 18 - Oct. 2)


Sundays after worship, in the Cloister


In a three-part series, Marilyn Wolf will give us an overview of this unique map of human nature that helps guide our spiritual work and path. This tool, with ancient roots, offers insight into our God given personality and motivations, struggles, and gifts. Its wisdom can lead to greater self-awareness and deeper love of self and others. We will look at the three “Centers of Intelligence” (mind, heart, and body) as well as other key concepts such as focus of attention, core motivations, and the importance of the connecting lines.


Marilyn Wolf, M.Ed., is a seasoned teacher who has been working with the Enneagram since 2000. She is passionate about sharing her experience of the Enneagram with others because of its enormous impact on her own life and the lives of her many students. To get the most from this brief overview and get a start on discovering your type, please consider taking an assessment at www.enneagraminstitute.com. For those who want to learn more, a good concise introductory resource is the book The Essential Enneagram by David Daniels, MD. We meet Sunday mornings in the Cloister and the class will be recorded.

Can You Help Deliver Meals for a Few Weeks? 


The two-person team that delivers food boxes each Tuesday for Abundant Life is taking a travel break for the next four weeks, and Holy Spirit needs substitutes. The duties include arriving to fill boxes at 3 p.m., then driving a manageable route of deliveries. Please call Barbara Van Cleve at 336-707-8355 to volunteer. You’ll love the glow you get from feeding your neighbors.

All Are Invited to Join Our EYC at the CROP Walk!


CROP Hunger Walks help to support the overall ministry of Church World Service, especially grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts around the world. On a local level, the Greater Greensboro CROP Hunger Walk returns 25% of the funds it raises to Greensboro Urban Ministry's Potter’s House Community Kitchen.


St. Andrew’s will be making a general donation in support of this year's CROP Hunger Walk, and all are invited to join us for this impactful event on October 2. We'll meet at the Coliseum Special Events Center parking lot at 2 p.m., with the walk starting at 2:30. Please wear a red shirt, if you have one, and gather at the St. Andrew’s banner.

Tell Fido: Blessing of the Animals Is Coming!  


All people and pets are invited to the annual Blessing of the Animals, October 9 at 3 p.m. Join us on the church lawn as we share God’s love with the pets that have loved us through COVID and more. Traditionally held the first Sunday of October, we have chosen the second Sunday this year so our youth and all parishioners can participate in the CROP Walk the Sunday prior. It also gives our cats, dogs, and guineas an extra week to practice their manners for the big day! There is no obedience test, but all pets are asked to attend on a leash or in a carrier. 

I Have No Hands But Yours


Your hands can write a letter or type an email, a simple beginning to join your fellow Episcopalians in the Diocese of North Carolina, urging our representatives in Raleigh to act on pending legislation in support of affordable housing. There is a table in the Parish Hall with materials to help you take that difficult first step toward composing a message. Take advantage of the materials there, the lists of legislators, the descriptions of the problem, the identification of current legislation, the sample letters, and sit down with your phone or your pen right there in the Parish Hall and do it! Hit send or put it in the mail. You will have taken a small but necessary step in support of the Diocese’s commitment to promote affordable housing for North Carolinians.

For All Who Love to Pray Twice


St. Andrew’s chancel choir has resumed Wednesday evening rehearsals in the sanctuary, 7:15–8:30 p.m. If you are interested in singing in our wonderful choir, please contact Ann Doyle, St. Andrew’s Minister of Music, at ann.doyle1313@gmail.com.


To sing is to pray twice.  – St. Augustine 

Remember Your Burgundy Bags!


The Outreach Committee supports the year-round collection of canned goods and nonperishable food items for the One Step Further food pantry. Please continue to pick up a burgundy bag from the narthex and bring it back the following week with your donations. You may also pick up and drop off bags outside the office. Thank you for supporting our Greensboro neighbors.
