Dear Brothers and Sisters of St. Andrew's,
A signup sheet for the Orioles game on June 10th is outside Fr. Jason's office. Tickets are $14 apiece. Please sign up by Pentecost, May 28th.
The Rt. Rev. Carl Wright, our former Rector, remains in a skilled rehabilitation facility as he continues to recover from surgery. Please keep Bishop Carl in your prayers; cards may be sent to him at ProMedica, 10714 Potomac Tennis Lane, Potomac, MD 20854.
On the third Sunday of each month we take up a special offering to address needs in our community. Our April Healing Sunday offering totaled $500, and has been sent to the Bishop's Annual Appeal. Our May Healing Sunday offering will benefit the North County Emergency Outreach Network (NCEON).
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.
The only Son from heaven, foretold by ancient seers,
By God the Father given, in human form appears.
No sphere His light confining,
no star so brightly shining
As He, our Morning Star.
O time of God appointed, O bright and holy morn!
He comes, the king anointed, the Christ, the virgin-born,
Grim death to vanquish for us,
to open heaven before us
And bring us life again.
O Lord, our hearts awaken to know and love You more.
In faith to stand unshaken, in spirit to adore,
That we, through this world moving,
Each glimpse of heaven proving
May reap its fullness there.
O Father, here before You with God the Holy Ghost
And Jesus, we adore You, O pride of angel host.
Before You mortals lowly
Cry,”Holy, holy, holy,O
blessed Trinity!”
