MANY THANKS TO ALL
FOR CHRISTMAS SERVICES
Our fine services
Christmas Eve, First Sunday
of Christmas and Feast of the
Holy Name would not have
been possible without the
skill, dedication and artistry
of our Choirmaster, Choir,
Acolytes and Altar Guild. We
thank
God
for
these
ministries, and for the
support of St. Andrew’s
Parish family.
KUDOS FOR
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Many thanks to John
Carpenter for the great
presentation he made of
Dickens’s immortal novella,
A Christmas Carol. His
sound man and producer
Jack Carpenter and his
Director Jennifer Carpenter
helped make it all possible.
A great way to celebrate
Christmas!
VESTRY ELECTIONS
2016
The Annual Meeting
of the Congregation of St.
Andrew’s will be held on
Sunday, January 24th, after
the 8:30 a.m. High Mass. The
Annual Meeting will be held
at the Montessori Centre at
4608 Granny White Pike,
37220, which is just south of
the intersection of Granny
White and Harding. We will
have three vacancies to fill
for the class of 2019, one
vacancy for the class of 2018
(Henry Carpenter’s position,
because as a postulant for the
Deaconate he is no longer
eligible), and the vacancy for
Anne Ross’s term in the class
of 2017.
The
nomination
forms may be found in the
hallway in front of the
Pastor’s study. They specify
the minimum qualifications
to serve on the Vestry. Please
submit your nomination to
the
committee.
Any
questions
regarding
a
person’s
qualifications
should also be submitted to
the committee.
Any parishioner who
is 18 years of age or older,
and who is a communicant in
good standing is eligible for
the Vestry.
This means,
among other things, that the
person attends regularly,
supports the church, and
pledges a specific amount.
The same criteria define
those who are eligible to have
seat, voice and vote at the
annual meeting.
If you
haven’t made a pledge of a
specific amount, you have
seat and voice, but no vote,
pursuant to our bylaws.
NEW FLOWER SIGN UP

There is new signup
sheet in the hall in front of
the Pastor’s Study for
