Sending Forth Sunday for Fr. Tyler Proctor
Sunday, August 3
As Fr. Tyler’s two-year curacy with Saint Andrew’s comes to a close, we are looking forward to expressing our deep gratitude for all of the ways that Fr. Tyler has offered his gifts in ministry in service to God at Saint Andrew’s. Over the course of these two years, Saint Andrew’s has been richly blessed to be able to participate (for the first time in our history!) in the diocesan curacy program, and we look forward to seeing how God continues to call Fr. Tyler to ever-deepening service in the years ahead. In addition, to sending forth prayers and a blessing offered at both masses, the entire parish will have an opportunity to celebrate Fr. Tyler as we gather, after the 10:30 AM Mass, for a special reception in the Parish Hall.

UPDATED: Parking at Saint Andrew's
For detailed parking instructions, click here.
***PLEASE NOTE - West End Baptist Church, which owns the parking lot around Saint Andrew's, has reduced the parking lot area available on Sundays to the area closer to South Main Street--with the back part of the parking lot (against Rhett Street) no longer available. As a result, please enter the parking lot via South Main Street. The map linked below has been updated to reflect that change.***
| |
Note: You need a parking decal to park in the designated lots. They can be found on the shelf to the left of the doors as you exit the church.
| Sunday Altar Flower and Presence Candle Dedications | |
On Sundays, we have the opportunity to offer a special dedication of the altar flowers or presence candle in honor, memory, or celebration of loved ones. The cost to the church for altar flowers is now $100 per Sunday, so we are suggesting that donations for dedicating altar flowers be in the range of $50 to $100 to help us cover those costs. The suggested donation for a presence candle dedication is $10.
If you would like to sign up for a Sunday, please see the sign up sheet on the bulletin in the Parish Hall or click on the button below. You may place a check in the offering plate with "Altar Flowers" or "Presence Candle" noted in the memo.
We will continue to only have Altar Flowers if someone has signed up and paid for the arrangements. As a result, we will need to know by the Tuesday prior to the upcoming Sunday if you would like to sign up.

Notes Along the Way | What America Means | The radical idea of the American republic was that there would no longer be patrician and plebeian, nobility or commoner. "All men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights" is the political axiom of the Republic - hence the constitutional provisions barring titles and enumerating those rights. | | | |

We are always seeking additional volunteers for the Saint Andrew’s choir, which currently gathers on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM (and not on Wednesday evenings) to prepare the music for the 10:30 mass.
