C O N T E N T SJune 2003 | Vol. XVIII, No. 2Formation groups are now underway Sint Andrew’s now has three new formation groups, each meeting once a month for prayer, study, and fellowship, as follows: Healing and Recovery meets at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of every month. Spiritual Development and Prayer meets at 7 p.m. on the second Wednesday of every month. Bible and Theology meets at 7 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of every month. June Events June 1: Both services: The Sunday after the Ascension. We’ll move the previous Thursday’s Ascension Day celebration to Sunday, so that more of us can commemorate this feast. June 8: Both services: The Day of Pentecost (“Whitsunday,” as we used to call it in the old days). As the story below reminds us, it’s when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles. Wear red to church! June 15: Both services: Trinity Sunday. It’s the feast day of the one, holy, and undivided Trinity. Don’t forget Dad—it’s Father’s Day, too! And at the 10 a.m. service, we celebrate Choir Appreciation Sunday, as well. June 22: Both services: Graduation Sunday: We celebrate our graduates, from whatever educational level and institution they are graduating from, and honor all teachers on Teacher Appreciation Sunday, too.
You might not realize it, but the stork has been very busy at Saint Andrew’s in the last couple of years. We now have a dozen children age two and under! Our most recent arrivals are Estelle Chidubem Elendu (born May 23) and Barbara Ann and Gerald Douglas Hill (born in February). All of these families have tiny ones too: Cantú, Caprini, Chen, Crocker/Stuttard, Dunlop, Horlock, Majeau, and Whittaker. Have you met Allison, Bret, Hank, Jack, Natalie, Owen, Rose, Ruth, and Shannon? Do they need to meet each other? It’s never too early to form your own peer support group (church acoustics notwithstanding). Before we know it, they’ll be the Sunday School, acolytes, and youth group of Saint Andrew’s.
Listen, my children, and you shall hear Boston’s historic Old North Church challenges government policy to get grant to restore its 280-year-old windows. By TRACY SUKRAW, Episcopal News Service U.S. Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton made a trip to Boston’s North End on May 27 to announce a federal grant to Old North Church from the Save America’s Treasures Preservation Fund. One of Boston’s most familiar landmarks, Old North Church is known for its steeple, from which church sexton Robert Newman on April 18, 1775, hung the two lanterns associated with Paul Revere’s ride and the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The church receives more than 600,000 visitors a year.
