Worship Sunday - 02 October 2022
Subject Line: Worship Sunday, Episcopalianism 101
Dear Brothers and Sisters of St. Andrew's,
I look forward to worshiping with you Sunday. The 10:00 service is streamed via our Facebook page, our YouTube channel and our website.
On Sundays after church we have weekly "Episcopalianism 101" classes from 11:20-12:10. We just started, so it isn't too late to join in. This class will be especially useful for those who are to be confirmed or received when Bp. Sutton visits on March 5 of next year, but I want to encourage all of you to participate. Books are available outside my office; our cost is $17 apiece but please don't let that be an obstacle to you participating.
On the third Sunday of each month we take up a special offering to address needs in our community. Our September Healing Sunday offering of $300 was sent to Caring Cupboard. Our October Healing Sunday offering will be sent to Meals On Wheels.
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.

Compel us, O God, to attend diligently to your Word, as did your faithful servants Paula and Eustochium; that, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we may find it profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness; and that thereby we may be made wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
--Collect for the (September 28) Commemoration of Paula and Eustochium, Monastics and Scholars, d. 404 and ca, 419

Support our Siblings in Puerto Rico
Dear St. Andrew's Family,
The Diocese of Puerto Rico has been devastated by Hurricane Fiona. Our Canon for Latino Ministries, the Rev. Margarita Santana, and I have been in contact with Bishop Rafael Morales and his staff. Bishop Morales told us about the damage the storm has done.
Puerto Rico is our beloved companion diocese, and our friends there need our help. Their homes have been damaged, crops have been destroyed and access to clean water is becoming a concern. The staff in the Diocese of Puerto Rico are working hard to care for the people and meet the needs of all who have been impacted.
As a Community of Love, I call upon you to support their efforts by taking up an offering on Sunday, October 2 in each of our congregations. Together, I believe we can help in a meaningful way to support our companion diocese in Puerto Rico in their time of need.
Gifts can be made online at https://episcopalmaryland.org/prgive2022/ and checks can be mailed to our diocesan offices with “Puerto Rico” on the memo line, 4 East University Parkway, Baltimore, MD 21218.
Please join me in giving generously.
Blessings,
+Eugene

The grand Enemy of the Church never did much harm, in his own proper character. To effect his designs, he changes his native dress; and assumes that of an angel of light. Shall we, therefore, be ignorant of his devices? And shall we, when knowing his devices, become a prey to them? May God, in his mercy to the Church of America, forbit it! May it always be a governing principle of our lives, to preserve Charity, the very bond of perfectness, that which holds the Church, the body of Christ, together, by love to God and man; by unity of design and harmony of effort.
--The Rt. Rev. Philander Chase (1775-1852), first Bishop of Ohio and Illinois, 1820. Bp. Chase is commemorated on September 20.

And every day
I look for that time when the Lord's cross,
which I once behelf here on earth,
will fetch me in this fleeting life
and bring me where the bliss is great,
joy in heaven, where the Lord's hosts are
seated at the banquet. Endless bliss is there.
It will set me where forever I will
dwell in wonders, taste well
happiness with the holy. May the Lord be my friend,
he who earlier suffered here on earth,
on this gallows tree for our trespasses.
He redeemed us and returned our lives,
gave us a heavenly home. Hope was renewed
among blessings with bliss for those who suffered burning there.
The Son, mighty and successful, was victorious
in that quest, when he came with many,
a host of spirits into God's glorious kingdom,
the almighty ruler, to the bliss of angels
and all the saints who earlier dwelt in glory
in heaven, when their Creator came,
almighty Lord, back to the land of his home.
