The Ninth Sunday After Pentecost |
Join us this Sunday, online or in-person, at 10:30 am as we move through the Season After Pentecost also known as Ordinary Time.
We have seen a major uptick in hospitalizations from Covid in the Jacksonville area. As such, if you are unvaccinated or immunocompromised (even if you are vaccinated), we strongly urge you to wear a mask or watch from home until this current surge resolves. Please feel free to wear a mask at any time, even if you are vaccinated!
For those of you joining us virtually, this service will be live streamed. Tune in at 10:30 am on the St. Andrew's Jax YouTube page. You can find the bulletin on the YouTube page or linked below at the bottom of the newsletter.

Campus Clean Up and Lost & Found |
It has been a busy summer around the church! We've been ripping down some old rotting wood, going through decades worth of stuff, and getting rooms ready for church activities or to rent!
Please take a look at these items that have found there way to our Lost & Found at the office. If you recognize any of them, please send an email to Kathleen. They will be donated or recycled if not claimed by August 8th.
We also have quite a few extra Church Directories from our 50th anniversary. If you would like to take a walk down the church's memory lane, grab one in the Narthex this Sunday!

Godly Play, a Montessori-style children's formation class, is here! Check out a Godly Play story this Sunday on YouTube.
We are almost to the end of our Godly Play stories online, and we'd like to get a program started in person this fall. If you are interested in telling a story (even if it is just ONE), please let Mother Lisa know.

Do you have a favorite hymn? Is there one you are just dying to sing? Has it been forever since you've heard one specific song?
We are having fun with our music this summer, and we want to play all of your favorites! Tell us your favorite hymn HERE and we'll do our best to work it in (as the lectionary allows)!
This includes Cursillo music! Just let us know where it is in the pew songbook.

|
|
At last we can sing! Have you been surprised by how much you missed singing? Come sing in the St. Andrew's Summer Choir and help the parish get back in the swing of things!
We meet on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am in the choir loft and run through some well-known hymns. Then we'll sing during the 10:30 am service.
That’s it. No commitment, just fun!

A Prayer For Our Next Bishop |
|
Almighty God, giver of every good gift, we pray that you would look graciously upon the Diocese of Florida, and so guide the minds and hearts of the Nominating Committee as they prayerfully select candidates for the election of the next bishop of this diocese, that we may receive a faithful pastor who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries: Guide also the minds and hearts of the candidates who will come before the Nominating Committee, that this process will be a time of discernment and growth in their lives and ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
|
|
We all need extra prayer sometimes. If you or someone you love is in need of prayer, please submit your prayer request here: Prayer Request. We will publish the prayer list weekly so the entire parish can keep you in their prayers.
|
|
If you would like to highlight your event or program in our newsletter, all submissions are due the Wednesday before publication at 5:00pm. Please email submissions to Mtr. Lisa.
