During our “once every five year” safety

inspection by a Diocesan representative

from Church Insurance, it was recom-

mended we have visual records of our as-

sets. A video or photographs need to be

taken and these records stored offsite in a

safe place. Could you help? Do you have a

hobby? This could by done by anyone –

young, old, short, tall. It could be done

during the early summer. Sounds like a

good project. If you are interested, please

call me at the office any Monday, Tuesday

or Thursday.

Well it’s time for another Junior Warden’s

report…..Which I’ve been told I’m late

again. (Our Senior Warden seems to not

have a problem reminding me of that….)

(Oh come on, I have to blame someone).

We’ve had kind of a slow month. You may

have noticed some of the bumps on the

walkways have been smoothed out, but

there are still a couple more we have to

take care of. We may have had a slow

month....but we had a GREAT day April

Dear Friends,

We DID have a glorious Easter week and

now we are well into the Easter season!

The emphasis of Easter season is the res-

urrected Jesus. For forty days after his

resurrection Jesus appeared to his disci-

ples and continued to teach and guide

them and then he ascended into heaven. It

was an exciting time for the disciples as

they began the transition of being disci-

ples (followers) to becoming apostles

(sent ones).

It is an exciting time here at St. Andrew’s

too! We are finishing our study of the

epistle of James. After James we will be-

gin the study of the first epistle to the

Thessalonians which was the 2nd New

Testament book written according to most

New Testament scholars. This is the first

letter written by St. Paul. This too will be

an enjoyable book to study. The study will

last between 4 and 6 weeks. In our adult

education classes on Saturdays and Sun-

day mornings we are going through Epis-

copal traditions and discovering what our

tradition believes and has taught and to

what we hold and why.

The church has more than educational

opportunities though! We have opportuni-

ties for ministry to others too! If you are

Father Lance is in the process of trying

to visit all our parishioners. He is eager

to meet each and every one of you in

Some gave their professional talents – like

with electrical repairs – some their back

aching talent – pulling weeds. Some gave

with seeing talents – cleaning windows.

Some gave with a talent that will help St.

Andrew’s be noticed by cleaning our sign.

The thing I’m most thankful for is that eve-

rybody gave with the talent of a loving

heart. “Thank you” hardly begins to ex-

press how much you all mean to St. An-

drew’s.

There is one person I would like to take a

special moment to recognize: our Sexton

Tom Beem. Tom donated his time on Sat-

urday, as we all did, but he started at

6 am setting up & coordinating who would

be best suited for each task. He did a great

job!!! So next time you see Tom...tip your

hat…but be careful…if he tips his to you

…the glare off his head could cause retinal

damage…You have been forwarned.

Thank you to all !!!!!!!!!!!!

In God’s love,

Rick Pederson

YOUTH GROUP The Youth group had a surprise Thank You

dinner for Jody Bowes at the beach on

April17. They each gave Jody a flower and

something they had made for her.

Britany Traudt began it with her poem in

rap and Sarah Lillpopp and Lauren Hough-

ton ended it with a song! Jody has done so

much for our young people.

We are planning our last meeting until Fall.

It will be an overnight in Krysher Hall - we

hope!

—Joanne Lillpopp

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

The friends of the Library meeting on

April 9th was the last until October 8th.

The book club will also be in recess until

October 8th. The books for next year will

be decided at that time. The members of

the library are working hard to organize

our library to make it more user friendly.

It is still a work in progress and we hope to

have it finished in the near future.

For all our church members who like to

keep their hands and fingers busy don’t

forget about the Arts & Crafts section of

the library. There are books on knitting,

needlepoint, cross-stitch and instruction

books on art technique.

Those of you who like to listen to your

reading material, we have you covered

with books on tape and CDs, so please

come in and take a browse Sundays and

during the week—the library is never

locked. —Deb Wilks

OPPORTUNITY

FOR

SERVICE

Our wonderful Thrift Shop is a ministry

that serves God, the church and visitors.

With the coming of Spring and Summer,

many volunteers who faithfully serve God

by working in the Thrift Shop, go to other

locations leaving many hours when the

Thrift Shop may not be staffed. Please

consider filling some of these hours to

serve God and meet wonderful people. To

serve contact Fr. Lance or Rich Kovacs at

the Thrift Shop 352-686-1114.

ALTAR GUILD Thank you for all you hard work at Easter.

Summer is almost here, and I need to

know when you are going to be away so I

can make up the new schedule.

Call me 686 0808 or email me.

[email protected]

Till next month—Gail Niedurny

MUSIC NOTES After May, our Sanctuary choir takes a

well-deserved break until resuming re-

hearsals at the end of August. This is

YOUR opportunity to participate as a

“Summer Soloist!” If you would like to

plan an instrument or sing (by yourself or

with a small group of friends), contact me

and we’ll set the date! St. Andrew’s is

blessed with many creative souls. We

would love to hear from you.

Our Cantata Choir will continue periodic

rehearsals over the summer. If you sing,

read music and love a challenge, contact

me about an audition for this small but

powerful group.

—Jody Bowes, Minister of Music

Thank You

Notes

Pink Envelopes

As most of you know, St. Andrew’s

Pre-School is closing at the end of 40

years.

There is no way to really say “Thank

You” to our dedicated staff, but we

would like to in some small way show

them our appreciation for all their past

efforts.

There will be a “purse” to show our

appreciation for each of our teachers.

You may place your donation in the

pink envelopes found at the back of the

church for this purpose.

Thank you for your generosity.

Thank you to all the families who made

the delicious soups for dinner on Maundy

Thursday. All of the soups I tasted were

scrumptious, and the buns were abso-

lutely wonderful ... actually spectacular.

How lucky the families are who have

these talented cooks in their folds and

how lucky for St. Andrew’s that they

shared these talents with us for the dinner.

Thank you to the people who put in their

time and hard worked in the set up and

clearing of the hall. The meal was so en-

joyable and so delicious.

Sincerely,

Nancy Koehle

***

Dear St. Andrew’s Family;

My family and I would like to thank you

all for the heart-felt compassion on the

passing of our Mother: Dorothy Foli.

Your concern and sympathy were greatly

appreciated.

Thank You,

Richard Davidson and Family

ORDER OF

ST. LUKE

Are you looking for a good way to start

your day? A good breakfast and exer-

cise is what we hear all the time, but I

have a better way!

For many years the Episcopal Church

has published a manual of daily Bible

readings and devotions.

Some of us cannot imagine starting our

day without reading the daily message.

The message is short, but meaningful.

You can use it more extensively if you

choose. At the bottom of each page it

gives you the Psalm of the day and

other Bible readings if you choose to

look them up.

The new Forward Day By Day cover-

ing the months of May, June and July,

are in the tract racks now.

The cost to the church for this publication

is $.90.

There is a box at each tract rack. No one

is there to make change, so a dollar would

be helpful if you do not have the change.

If the cost is a problem, just take one.

Start you day the best way possible, a few

minutes in the presence of God.

Online Humor: Acts 3:28 A woman returned to her home from

an evening of church services, when

she was startled by an intruder. She

caught the man in the act of robbing

her home of its valuables and yelled:

“Stop! Acts 2:38!” (Repent and be Bap-

tized, in the name of Jesus Christ, so

that your sins may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The

woman calmly called the police and ex-

plained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him

in, he asked the burglar:

“Why did you just stand there? All the old

lady did was yell a scripture to you.”

“Scripture?” replied the burglar, “She said

she had an Ax and Two 38s!”

Knowing scripture can save your life - in

more ways than one!

Experts at Parish Renewal Will Lead Annual Vestry Retreat

From BRIDGES Diocese Newsletter

Needlepoint Kneelers of

St. Andrew’s Church

The needlepoint kneelers at the altar rail

tell the story of St. Andrew’s life with

symbols. These kneelers were the work

of Evelyn Bacon, Meg Beeley, Margaret

Chase, Shirlee Deese, Lois Everard,

Alberta Gee, Kate MacDonald, Helen

Nouza, Ruth Rubino, Edith Hutton,

Helen Wison and Ruth Atwood.

Each kneeler contains a St. Andrew’s

cross in the center with a symbol on

each side. There is a repeat of one sym-

bol on the adjacent kneeler for continu-

ity. The story begins at the upper left

side of the altar rail. In addition to the

15 kneelers, there is a dedicated one for

Easter and one for a wedding. The box-

ing pieces across the front and on the

exposed sides are decorated with Greek

Key design.

Lamb of God – represents Christ

Maltese Cross – represents

St. John the Baptist who baptized

St. Andrew

Dove – represents baptism

St. Peter’s Cross – brother of

Andrew – cross is upside down

representing the upside down

crucifixion of St. Peter

Anchor – St. Andrew was a fisherman

Net – used in catching fish

Fish – represents two fish found by

St. Andrew that fed the multitude

Bread – represents the five loaves

of bread found by St. Andrew on

the Mount

Open Bible – represents the Word

of God

Scroll – represents teaching

Continued on back cover ...

PARRISH – Two experts at rein-

venting parish church life will

lead the annual Vestry Retreat of

the Diocese of Southwest Florida

set for Saturday, May 11, 2013.

Consultants Robert Gallagher and

Michelle Heyne will address gath-

ered Episcopal members of ves-

tries from across Southwest Flor-

ida at the day-long conference at

DaySpring Episcopal Center.

Gallagher and Heyne’s focus is

on the parish church, offering

help so that the parish church

may “more fully live what it is --

an expression of the Body of

Christ, the People of God.”

The Washington Post calls Gal-

lagher a “professional church sav-

ior.” A former parish priest, Gal-

lagher has been a consultant and

trainer in religious systems, non-

profit organizations and small

businesses since 1970. He has

been on the staff and/or consult-

ant to ecumenical training organi-

zations, an industrial mission and

metropolitan and state councils of

churches, and served as the con-

gregational development officer

for the Episcopal Diocese of Con-

necticut from 1981-88.

Heyne has been as part of the

training team in the Church De-

velopment Institute and Shaping

the Parish of the Diocese of

Washington and in the national

programs of each. She is has

worked in the financial industry

for many years as a compliance

officer and is currently part of

Precedent Consulting.

Their work is centered around

the idea that the parish church

exists to glorify God, live in the

community of the Holy Trinity,

and form people Christ so they

may be instruments of God's

love in their families, with

friends, in the workplace, and in

civic life. The Post described it as
