Remember, Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday, March 9th at 2am! 

Dear Friends of St. Andrew's,

 I am recovering nicely, still in a cast, and look forward to worshiping with you again in March after my 6 weeks of recuperation from surgery. 
 

In the interim we will follow our usual schedule of Rite I Eucharist at 8:00 am and Rite II at 10:00 am.  Our 10:00 am service is streamed via our Facebook page, our YouTube channel and our website.

 Fr. Ron will preside and preach on most Sundays, and at our Wednesday 1:10 Eucharist. Deacon Gail, our intern Jessica, and our Senior Warden will augment Fr. Ron's preaching schedule.

 "St. Andrew's is hosting Winter Relief this week, providing dinner, beds, and breakfast for people experiencing homelessness. Sunday is their last day at St. Andrew's.

A Red Cross Blood Drive is scheduled for May 9th. Please mark your calendars.

 On the third Sunday of each month we take up a special offering to address needs in our community.  Our January offering supported Arundel House of Hope.

 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). If you are facing job loss or a reduction in your family's income please don't hesitate to reach out to me personally.

Please continue to send cards and make visits to our former Rector the Rt. Rev. Carl Wright at The View Alexandria, 5000 Fairbanks Ave., Alexandria, VA  22311.

[Also, please send cards and notes to our Rector the Rev. Dr. Jason Poling at 2 Seiler Ct., Reisterstown, MD 21135.]

O God, the Father of all, whose Son commanded us to love our enemies: Lead them and us from prejudice to truth; deliver them and us from hatred, cruelty, and revenge; and in your good time enable us all to stand reconciled before you; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

-Fr. Jason

he took the bread and brake it,

and what that Word did make it,

I do believe and take it.”

O Lord Jesus Christ, open thou the eyes of my heart, that I may hear thy word and understand and do thy will, for I am a sojourner upon the earth. Hide not thy commandments from me, but open mine eyes, that I may perceive the wonders of thy law. Speak unto me the hidden and secret things of thy wisdom. On thee do I set my hope, O my God, that thou shalt enlighten my mind and understanding with the light of thy knowledge, not only to cherish those things which are written, but to do them; that in reading the lives and sayings of the saints I may not sin, but that such may serve for my restoration, enlightenment and sanctification, for the salvation of my soul, and the inheritance of life everlasting. For thou art the enlightenment of those who lie in darkness, and from thee cometh every good deed and every gift. Amen.

John Chrysostom
