Rector's Weekly Report
August 21st, 2011

Special blessings are extended this morning to Gordon and Marilyn Hamlin as they renew their vows before family and friends at our 10:30 celebration of Holy Eucharist. A special welcome to St. Andrew's forĀ  those who have travelled to be here with Gordon and Marilyn on this day.

We welcome back Rev. Judie from her summer vacation. Following the services today I will be off for a week of vacation followed by a retreat week. In my absence Rev. Judie and Rev. Ron will officiate at the worship services. Please contact Rev. Judie for pastoral emergencies. (446-0229) Other matters may be referred to our wardens, Renee Fraser (876-2275) or Rick Orlando (876-8396).
I will return to the parish on Wednesday, September 7th.

I was pleased to meet with the Sunday School teachers on Thursday evening to review the new curriculum that will be used this year. The name of the program is Spark, a lectionary based resource, that promises to provide excellent Christian education for our children.

May your lives, by your words and actions, be a blessing to God's holy name.

 

Rev. Mike
