Fall Book Study: This fall the book study group will meet from 2:00 – 3:30 pm on Thursday October 14 and October 28 with Rev. Mike. A question at the forefront for many of us on our Christian journey is: Why does there seem to be so much suffering in the world? One of the great books written in response to this question is When Bad
Things Happen to Good People by Harold S Kushner. It is my hope that our study of this book and our discussions together will lead us, in some way, to a better understanding of this question. Those planning to attend who haven’t already signed up, please see Rev. Mike.
YARD SALE: St. Andrew’s Ladies Group will be having their fall Yard Sale and Bake Table on October 23. We are looking for good, clean used clothing, household items, books, toys, plants, etc. We can no longer accept computers, TV’s, car seats, microwaves or encyclopedias. Items can be dropped off in the church hall during the week preceding the sale and on the Friday, October 22nd from 9- noon and 7-9 pm.
The two Bible Study Fellowship Groups – Monday evenings, 7 pm-8:30 pm (1st, 3rd & 5th), and Tuesday afternoons 2 pm-3:30 pm (1st, 3rd, & 5th) will be studying the Letter to the Hebrews. Hebrews will help us to see how the Old and New Testaments are linked, how they are two parts of the same astonishing story! Rev. Ron will be very pleased to see you! The Tuesday group will meet on October 5 and 19; the Monday group on October 4 and 18.
2010 Legacy Fund for Lay Ministry – The Offering at the Celebration Eucharist on June 6th, which is slated for the “Legacy Fund for Lay Ministry”, was in excess of $22,000.00. This is a wonderful start, but if we are to have a viable fund to generate enough funds to give to Lay People to further their educational work, we willneed much more. You can contribute to this fund at anytime by using a plain white envelope marking it “2010 Legacy Fund for Lay Ministry” and placing it on the Offertory Plate
