All are welcome at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church
Dear Brothers and Sisters of St. Andrew's,
I look forward to worshiping with you this weekend as we honor our Lord, who destroyed death. Worship for the rest of Holy Week is as follows:
As was the case when we were able to meet in the summer and fall, we need to observe several practices to keep everybody safe:
All Sunday services will be streamed via our Facebook page, our YouTube channel and our website. We will stream the 8:00 service via Zoom. You may use Zoom by visiting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89538636563?pwd=aDZ6SXUxZTMvMklKSi81UkVlaGpIZz09, and you may access the audio stream by telephoning 301-715-8592 and using meeting ID 8953-863-6563, password 201189.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (a.k.a. Confession) is always available to you, and is especially appropriate during the penitential season of Lent. I am now permitted to hear confessions in person, masked and distanced, as well as via Zoom or over the phone. Please contact me to schedule an appointment.
On the third Sunday of each month we take up a special offering to address needs in our community. Our March Healing Sunday offering of $365 will be given to Arundel House of Hope. St. Andrew's has contributed a gift basked for their Bid for Hope fundraiser, which will be held April 14-17. Our April Healing Sunday offering will go toward helping Bill Forkgen's family recover from their recent house fire.
The Rector's Discretionary Fund enables me to work on the church's behalf to care for those in need in our community, and to support the needs of worthy ministries, as I am made aware of these needs. I am always glad to receive gifts to this fund (either electronically or by checks made out to St. Andrew's with Rector's Discretionary Fund on the memo line), especially at this time when need is increasing significantly. If you are facing job loss or a reduction in your family's income please don't hesitate to reach out to me personally.

The Bishop Wright Society enables you to make provision for our church in your estate plans. It is named after our sixth Rector, the Rt. Rev. Carl Walter Wright, who was called from St. andrew's to serve as Bishop Suffragan for Armed Forces and Federal Ministries of the Episcopal Church. Bp. Carl is not only the namesake of the Society, he is also a Charter Member.
It is not necessary to provide any details or documentation to join the Bishop Wright Society, only to affirm that you have made arrangements for St. Andrew's to be included in your final wishes. Those enrolled by Pentecost 2021 will join Bp. Carl as Charter members, and will be indicated as such on the plaque that will hang in the Narthex.
For more information or to enroll please contact Fr. Jason.
Arundel House of Hope is holding a Spring Fling 2021, online Auction, Raffles and Donations fundraiser April 14-17, 2021. Please help support the Winter Relief Program by contributing to a "Garden Basket" from St. Andrew's. Contact Bertha Ryals via e-mail: baryals@hotmail.com, or telephone: 410-766-9884, to let her know what you can offer. Donations will be collected at the church, on Sunday mornings, until March 28, or, can be picked up if needed. Thank you for your support!
