St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

Dear Brothers and Sisters of St. Andrew's,

I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday; at either 8:00 or 10:00 (or both, why not?). Our 10:00 am service is streamed via our Facebook page, our YouTube channel and our website. We will have a brief (1/2 hour) Family Meeting following the service, followed by a Burger Burn. If you didn't get a chance to sign up to bring something, don't worry about it--just bring yourselves. We'll have plenty.

I had the privilege of preaching and celebrating the mid-day Eucharist at our Cathedral on Tuesday, when we observed the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the First Book of Common Prayer. The video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkGHoi_VfFg.

The Claggett Center is consecrating its new barn on Saturday the 17th with a picnic lunch and a prayer service. St. Andrew's has made a generous pledge to support this project. For more information or to register for this free event please visit https://www.claggettcenter.org/events/104.

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 May Healing Sunday offering totaled $400, and has been sent to the North County Emergency Outreach Network (NCEON). Our June Healing Sunday offering will support camp scholarships at the Claggett Center.

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.

But the blessed Blandina, last of all, having, as a noble mother, encouraged her children and sent them before her victorious to the King, endured herself all their conflicts and hastened after them, glad and rejoicing in her departure as if called to a marriage supper, rather than cast to wild beasts.

Let us go where duty calls--where Providence points the way--and let us rejoice in the privilege, for we assuredly ought--O, let us rejoice in the privilege of sending forth in the name of the Lord and under the guidance of his Spirit all those, who, thoroughly instructed in sacred truths, hear the cry, Come over and help us--and cannot resist the deep, the abiding conviction concerning their sphere of duty.

--Jackson Kemper (d. 1870; feast day May 24), Missionary Bishop, 1841

We saw his light break through the cloud of glory

Whilst we were rooted still in time and place

As earth became a part of Heaven’s story

And heaven opened to his human face.

We saw him go and yet we were not parted

He took us with him to the heart of things

The heart that broke for all the broken-hearted

Is whole and Heaven-centred now, and sings,

Sings in the strength that rises out of weakness,

Sings through the clouds that veil him from our sight,

Whilst we our selves become his clouds of witness

And sing the waning darkness into light,

His light in us, and ours in him concealed,

Which all creation waits to see revealed .

Every one is very willing to be a servant of Christ; but no one will consent to be His follower. And yet He says: “If any man serve me, let him follow me.” JoHence, he who truly serves and loves Christ, will also follow him; and he who loves Christ, will also love the example of His holy life, His humility, meekness, patience, as well as the cross, shame, and contempt which He endured, although the flesh may thereby suffer pain. And although we cannot, in our present weakness, perfectly imitate the holy and exalted life of Christ...nevertheless, we ought to love it, and long to imitate it more fully; for thus we live in Christ, and Christ lives in us, according to the words of St. John: “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”

--Johann Arndt (d.1621, feast day May 11)

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!”
