From the Senior Warden
Hi All,
We had a wonderful visit from Bishop Laura last week. After the service she spent time with the vestry discussing The Episcopal Church in Connecticut and St. Andrew's in particular. She is very excited and supportive about our new Priest in Charge. She will return to ordain Douglas on Saturday, September 12th. We haven't figured out exactly what to do on that day yet. Possibilities include having the ordination at St. Joseph's or maybe renting a large tent. So mark the date. More details to follow later.
Also, we have been having good attendance at the 10:30 AM service and will continue to broadcast it live for the time being (fingers crossed!). Also, starting this week we are going to have the 8:30 AM service as well. The Rev. Lisa Hahneman will be with us for both services so plan on attending if you can.
We are still following the re-opening guidelines outlined by the State of Connecticut. Part of that means that we must keep an advance list of people who would like to attend. If you would like to attend either service please email or call Irene Connors (collageconnors@gmail.com or 860.592.0030) and she will put you on the list.
Have a great holiday weekend.

Dear Fellow Parishioners,
The Vestry and Properties Commission are happy to announce that the refurbishment of the Rectory is almost complete. The dumpster has been removed and final finish details are almost done. With Douglas and Jim arriving the end of July, we wanted to "show off" the completion and offer members of the parish a chance to see the Rectory before it becomes a home again.
Once again, the Parish owes a debt of gratitude to Wes Wyrick for spearheading the design, drawings and specifications, and supervising construction with the same passion and commitment that he gave to the renovation of the church. We are truly blessed to have him as a talented and generous member of St. Andrew's.
So, this Saturday and Sunday from 12-1:15, both days, we are inviting "tours" every 15 minutes with a maximum of 5 people for each walk about. The house is air-conditioned so social distancing is most important with everyone wearing a mask and keeping a 6' distance.
Please email me (cplace@coopermailbox.com) if you would like to join and which day and time you prefer. Needless to say I will not be policing with my stop watch so hopefully everyone will be flexible and patient with the format.
I look forward to seeing you this weekend,
Charmian Place

~ From the Treasurer ~ St. Andrew's Financial Condition Dear Parishioners, The Vestry met yesterday and I was able to report that our Parish is in very good financial position after the first quarter of the year. I/We want all to know that your generosity to the Church is very much appreciated. A good number of envelopes and checks came in over the past week, containing both pledge money and special Easter Offerings. Thanks to all for keeping St. Andrews financially strong during this very difficult time. Stephen Morocco, Treasurer |
From Dylan Mello
Northwest Leadership Team - ECCT Greetings Everyone, I hope you all had a peaceful week. Each week as I put these newsletters together, I am always amazed at the work that is being done in our Region. Despite these challenging times, there has been such an impressive shift of remaining together, albeit from our homes, safely and virtually. Our churches continue to be our home. The church isn't the building; the church is the community and relationships we have made. The virtual coffee hours, the Facebook Livestreams, the meditations, and the Zoom Services all allow us to be together. As we remain physically distant yet socially close, I see the Holy Spirit at work, though I still long for the time to arrive when we can be physically together safely. This week there is new information of our online events! Please review the new offerings at https://www.episcopalct.org/northwest/ Stay safe and stay well. In peace, Dylan __________________ |
