Join us for Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner!
Adult education for all of us, the Christian life is a journey - a process of formation. We believe that we can learn with each other and from each other. This is a place where your questions are welcome and where all people are invited to come to the table. At St. Andrew's we have a variety of seasonal series that pertain to many different parts of the Christian life.

Dear friends,
This year, for those who wish to be part of a group devoted to Lenten Study, we will have two opportunities.
Deacon Pat will lead discussions on the Gospel lessons for Lent on Sundays following worship in the Guild Room. This group will last about an hour. It will meet on February 26 and March 5, 12, 19, and 26. All are welcome! No preparation necessary.
Father Mark will lead a "Home Group" that will meet Wednesdays from 6 pm until 7:30 during Lent starting on March 1. We will watch a short video followed by discussion. I've asked that refreshments be simple: pitchers of water, and "bring your own coffee," if you chose. This group will be meeting in the homes of two of our households: Beth and Leo, and Colleen and Vicki. Because of this, the group is limited in size to twelve people maximum, including the hosts and me, so you must sign up in order to attend. While no preparation is necessary, please sign up only if you believe you can make it to most or all of the meetings.
Sign up is first come, first served. Email me at rector@samct.org to confirm your participation.
With all my prayers for you to have a Holy Lent,
Fr Mark
Our next book will be Mere Christianity, by C. S. Lewis. This is a truly remarkable work. To buy this book on Amazon, click HERE. We'll begin on January 29th.

Dear Friends,
Please join me after church, starting November 27 (1 Advent), to discuss a VERY interesting book, The Divine Conspiracy, by the late Dallas Willard. We'll meet in the Guild Room starting about fifteen minutes after worship concludes so we'll have a chance to get coffee from Holy Grounds, our newly redecorated parish hall. Here is a link to buy the book.
Don't worry about being able to make it every Sunday! I'll give you an idea what we'll be reading and discussing from week to week, and you can jump in as you like, although of course, I think it's better to come every time! This book will probably take us all the way through the Advent and Christmas seasons.
Blessings,
Father Mark +
