Pilgrimission" to Navajoland from 14-21 October - Our long-delayed pilgrimage and service trip to St. Christopher's Mission in Bluff, Utah is going ahead in October! We'll help construct tiny houses, support the church's feeding ministry, and do whatever else is needed. We'll also deepen our relationship with God as we experience Diné (Navajo) spirituality and the stunning desert landscapes. We'll hear the stories of the land and the people and reflect on how we might advance healing, repair and reconciliation. Accommodation (pictured above) is in basic double rooms with access to a good kitchen and two bathrooms. We'll fly into Albuquerque and explore wonderful Canyon de Chelly on our way to Bluff. We'll spend our final night in Mesa Verde National Park and tour the spectacular cliff dwellings of the Ancestral Puebloans on our way to Durango, Colorado and our flights back to Boston. If we book our flights quickly, the all-inclusive total cost is estimated at $1,800 per person. People can also arrange their own transportation and meet us in Bluff. Numbers are limited to 12, and there are a few spots remaining. A more detailed itinerary is HERE. If you are interested in joining the "pilgrimission," please be in touch soon by emailing both Lisa Kelly (lisankelly@att.net) and Jay MacLeod (jay@standrewsnl.org) as we'd like to book the flights as early as this Friday.er
Outreach Offering for Hospital in Gaza - Our August outreach offering goes to Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, Palestine. The political, economic, and social climate in Gaza is one of the most complicated in the world in "normal" times. Over the last two weeks we've seen the images of wounded children on our televisions and computers as the conflict with Israel continues. Ahli Hospital is a safe haven of peace and compassion in the midst of chaos. Hospital director Suhaila Tarazi says, “People in Gaza have never been in so much need. The demand for our services is more than we can provide. We have waiting lists for surgeries, underweight and malnourished [children’s] clinics, breast cancer screenings, and trauma therapy. We have immense shortages of medicines and medical supplies…” With its services needed now more than ever, Ahli Arab Hospital will receive our 28 August Last Sunday Offering, and our gifts will be matched by our generous anonymous donors. Checks can be made payable to St. Andrew's Church with "Outreach" in the memo line. Alternatively, you can give online HERE Every dollar you give will be matched by our anonymous donors.

Our Braver Angels leadership team asks you to mark two dates on your calendar for upcoming workshops. After worship on Sunday, 25 September, we hope to offer "Depolarizing Within" which teaches participants to look within, to avoid ridiculing people, and to constructively intervene in social conversations with like-minded peers. On Sunday, 13 November (just in time for Thanksgiving) we plan to offer "Families and Politics" where we'll learn how to preserve family bonds while being true to our values and political beliefs.

Food Bank - St. Andrew's is asked to donate canned souop in August.
Garden Help Needed - You wouldn't know it by the quality of our landscaping or by watching her work (or ski), but our volunteer gardener Mary Eysenbach isn't far off entering her 10th decade! She needs people to commit to watering twice a week for a 2-week stretch. Or commit to weeding a section of the drip edge. Usual pay rate but the benefits are out of this world. If you can help, please email Mary at eysen@tds.net.
Openings on Our Altar Guild - St. Andrew's Altar Guild always welcomes new members. If you are looking for a quiet way to be more involved in church activities, please contact JoAnn Hicks or Judy Ackroyd.
Please Step Up - We need lectors and intercessors to read the Bible and the Prayers of the People in our worship services. And Anne Hall, our Verger, would also love to hear from you if you'd like to carry the cross as crucifer or a candle as an acolyte. We also need individuals, couples and families to serve as ushers. All of these leadership roles come with guidance and a bit of training. Please contact Anne Hall (603.526.8350 or verger@standrewsnl.org) if you are interested and she can provide more information.
