As many of you know, one of the duties of St. Andrew’s Altar Guild is to decorate our worship space for special services, including Easter. On this very special and festive day, we would like the church altar to be full of beautiful flowers, especially lilies. We invite you to support the Altar Guild with an honorary or memorial Easter Flower Offering. The bulletin for Easter Sunday will list all donors and dedications.
Gifts may be made online at this link, at church during Tuesday office hours, or by mail.
All gifts should be received by Tuesday March 23rd.

Continued Water Concerns in Herman Hall
Throughout the rainy month of February, the water level was at its peak, and we
have had water seeping into Herman Hall once again. In lieu of building an Ark, we
are currently talking with basement specialists and structural engineers to learn how
we might best address this ongoing issue. We hope to have some possibilities and
estimates soon so that we will have a vibrant and safe space to welcome back our youth and children this summer or fall. A huge thank you to the “bucket brigade” –
the team who has worked tirelessly to stem the tide and shop vac water on a daily
and sometimes hourly basis – Betty and Alan Atwell, Mike Van Ormer, Scott
Durham, Sandy Shelton, and Stephen Inman.

A Prayer for Those Suffering from the Coronavirus
You shall not be afraid of any terror by night
nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Of the plague that stalks in the darkness,
nor of the sickness that lays waste
at mid-day. Ps 91:5-6
Merciful God, hear our fervent prayer for all who suffer from the coronavirus.
May those who are infected receive the proper treatment
and the comfort of your healing presence.
May their caregivers, families and neighbors be shielded
from the onslaught of the virus.
Give solace to those who grieve the loss of loved ones.
Protect and guide those who strive to find a cure,
that their work may conquer the disease and restore communities to wholeness and
health.
Help us to rise above fear.
We pray in the name of your Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever.
Amen.
