Bagpipes and Crafts
Three members of the Syria Highlander Pipe and Drum Corps (bagpipes) will play on the lawn from 9:45-10:00 and from 10:45-11:00.
Materials for a children's craft — making an Advent wreath — will be available in "grab and go" bags on tables outside the church after the service. Both our own children and neighborhood children are invited to take an Advent wreath packet.

In-Person Worship Suspended after This Sunday
In recognition that the COVID numbers have skyrocketed recently to a level that we have never seen before, and with a desire to protect ourselves and each other as best we can, beginning on November 29 we will take a break from in-person worship and shift to online worship only.
At 10:00 a.m. on Sundays, we will live-stream a Morning Prayer service with music. Our First Thursday Evensong on December 3 will be live-streamed with a small number of musicians. Please be on the lookout for notices of other services and changes, as this is a rapidly evolving situation.
Reminder - Please Return Pledges
This year, we are all asked to return our pledges to St. Andrew's by November 30, so that our Vestry can make informed plans for 2021. Little blue cards for recording the pledge, as well as return envelopes, were enclosed with the annual campaign brochure, and are available in the narthex if anyone has mislaid their card.
This year, for the first time, we have resources on our website for online pledging as well as online fulfillment of your pledge. Or you can simply send an email to our financial assistant, Dorothy Falk, at finance@standrewspgh.org, with information as to how much you want to pledge.
As Rev. Cole has emphasized, we would like everyone to return a pledge card or email, even if you are unable to make a financial pledge at this time, and your pledge is $0. We want to hear from all of you who are committed to St. Andrew's and willing to give your "time and talents", even if you can't give your "treasure."
