FEED THY NEIGHBOR:
Adapting to Changed Circumstances
Feed Thy Neighbor
Saturday mornings | 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM | Parish Hall
Who are these masked people? They are part of Saint Andrew's Feed Thy Neighbor Mission and Outreach team. During the COVID-19 pandemic, FTN continues to serve a hot breakfast to those who are the most vulnerable in our community every Saturday of the month. Saint Andrew's parishioners handle the third Saturday of each month, and Christ Church, Saint James, and Saint Peter's handle the other Saturdays--with volunteers from the Roe Cassidy Law Firm serving whenever there is a fifth Saturday in a month. Though it's not the usual hot breakfast under current circumstances, our guests are appreciative.

On the menu: breakfast burritos, ham biscuits, a piece of fruit, and Doug Barrett furnished a special treat, Cowboy Cookies. During the pandemic, guest are not allowed into the parish hall so bagged breakfast meals and hot coffee are distributed outside in the courtyard. Since Project Host is not open for lunch on Saturdays, Saint Andrews continues to serve a vital service offering a hot meal to those in need in the West End. Any remaining bags are distributed to those on the street at Miracle Hill Shelter and Triune Mercy. Many thanks to our volunteers this past Saturday: Tim Henry, Lesley Moore, Don Johnson, Mike Delello, Linda Fitzsimmons, Sarah Hinds, Kelly Gregory, Cindy Henry, and Riley Owens .

LIVESTREAM WORSHIP LINKS
A Prayer of Spiritual Communion
from the Armed Forces Prayer Book (1951)
In union, O Lord with the faithful at every altar of Thy Church, where the Holy Eucharist is now being celebrated, I desire to offer Thee praise and thanksgiving. I present to Thee my soul and body with the earnest wish that may always be united to Thee. And since I can not now receive Thee sacramentally, I beseech Thee to come spiritually into my heart. I unite myself to Thee, and embrace Thee with all the affections of my soul. Let nothing ever separate Thee from me. May I live and die in Thy love. Amen.

Morning Prayer Offering Via Zoom
Every Wednesday at 7:30 AM - Open to All Parishioners
As another opportunity for communal prayer within the parish, Father Gary asked Tommy Watson if he would be willing to lead Morning Prayer via Zoom every Wednesday during this time of "virtual" gathering for prayer and worship -- and he has graciously agreed to do so. If you are willing to read scripture during Morning Prayer via Zoom, please contact Tommy Watson. Each Wednesday at 7:30 AM, you can participate in Morning Prayer via the following link - https://zoom.us/j/593435801 - or by clicking on the button below (at 7:30 AM on Wednesdays).
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.
