Hello St. Andrew's Folk:

As most of you know, I (Amanda) am beginning my holidays tomorrow (July 14th). I'll be away until August 17th when I'll be going up to work at Camp Christopher for the week with the Senior Teen Camp. Our summer student minister, the Rev. Heetae Park, is available for any pastoral concerns while I am away. You can reach Heetae at the church or at my home phone number, as he will be staying at our house during our holidays.

Also, take note that we will be celebrating Holy Communion at St. Andrew's on Sunday, August 24th. The original plan was to have Communion in late July, but the plan has changed. I hope that you will all have a wonderful and restful summer, and I look forward to seeing you all again on August 24th.

May the peace of Christ be with you all.

~Amanda

Don't be late! During the months of July and August, Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m.

The sun is rising very, very early these days, so I hope that you'll be up earlier and ready to worship God a little earlier too. And perhaps you can go out from worship at St. Andrew's to continue to worship God as you enjoy God's creation and some beautiful summer Sundays.

Are you travelling this summer? I hope you'll take the opportunity to worship with a local Presbyterian Church or a church of another denomination wherever you are staying. Take a holiday from work. Take a holiday from your usual routines. But don't take a holiday from your true purpose of glorifying and enjoying God.

Have a wonderful summer everyone, whether you're worshipping with us at St. Andrew's (at 10:00 a.m.) or wherever your travels take you. We will return to the regular worship hour of 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 7th.
