Listen More Deeply
The quality of our listening – to God, to one another and to the movement of our own souls – is the key to personal and communal growth. All are invited to join Parish Council at 7pm on Tuesday, June 18 for a one-hour time of learning around deep listening. We will review some theory and techniques and have the opportunity to practice.
Worship Planning Team
Wednesday, June 19 at 7pm will be the inaugural meeting of a worship planning team. We will consider our worship holistically, both from a vision / dream big picture perspective, as well as immediate details like music and incorporating all ages. It is an opportunity to learn about, and reflect on, our worship practice while seeking greater connection and unity within the parish. Feel free to contact Christine with any specific questions or topics you’d like to review.
SALT – Community Conversations
Thanks to all who have joined in conversation so far this year. We are considering next steps, so stay tuned!

Parking!!

A big thanks to Patrick Carmichael, President of the Board for being such a good friend to St. Andrew’s! If you do receive a ticket, please let Christine know, so we can work out any kinks in the system.
Driver(s) Wanted! We have a few parishioners living at Chartwell Colonel Belcher who need a ride to come to church. It is only a 5 minute drive from church and you need space for a walker. Please let Christine know if you are willing to help fill this pastoral need.
