September 8, 2019 Round Up Pictures
Every year, we observe and celebrate the feast of Saint Andrew on the Sunday before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. This year Saint Andrew's Day will be Sunday, November 19, 2017. At the 11 a.m. service, the Syria Highlanders Pipe and Drum Corps will head our procession into the church and out again as they always do, and lots of people will wear tartan like they always do. There is always a beautiful and festive reception and tea after the 11 a.m. service. which will be even more warm and inviting in our newly transformed Brooks Hall.
As those before us, we come together, bringing all we have, to prepare a place for people to worship, pray, and gather. We try to make a place to offer our best to Christ, so that through us – with us as his voice, his hands and feet – he can through his life, death, and resurrection draw all people to himself, healing what is broken in our lives and our world, and at the deep center of the created order of all things.
Above all, though, we imagine a parish and a mission that is larger than we are now, just as a century ago people imagined their parish in the future, and here we are. Old photographs from the last century show us there was a time when a house in the East End had no immediate neighbor. A few saplings rose beside a wide, dusty boulevard that stretched for blocks before another house could be seen, small and grey as a shadow. A single telephone pole and line might be seen in some of these photos. And in no time, it seems, photos would show that houses, gardens, commerce, and communities filled that space. Older neighbors must have remarked once or twice how the neighborhood teemed with folks.
Although we may not know all of the people who will inherit or adopt Saint Andrew's after we are gone, we know who we are. We know what we have. We know by the example of Saint Andreans before us that the hearts and minds of all members of a parish can imagine the future and create it with their hands. Again, as always on Saint Andrew's Day, we celebrate Saint Andrew and prepare for the people who will come in future years.

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT!
St. Andrean (and Highland Park'er) Carla Sivek, a graduate of the Pneuma Spiritual Direction program at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, will be leading our "Quiet Morning in Lent" gathering on Saturday, March 5. We'll gather at 8:45 for coffee and conversation and then will spend the morning together in spiritual reflection centered in Scripture with the Parable of the Prodigal in the 15th chapter of St. Luke's Gospel.
Rembrandt, The Prodigal Son
Music for the Third Hour of Good Friday this year (2:00-3:00 hour) will be the first and third pieces of Francois Couperin's Leçons de ténèbres pour le mercredi saint (1714). The Tenebraes, or "shadows," liturgy concludes on Good Friday with the gradual extinguishing of the candles in the church symbolizing the dying of Christ. Afterwards, all leave the church in silence.
They will be sung by Gabriela Pascale Schunn and Georgeanna Robinson. A most difficult, beautiful, and unusual work⎯perfect for these two brilliant sopranos. The remainder of the hour will be the Chorales from the St. Matthew Passion, sung by the Parish Choir.

A Children's Pageant of Christmas December 14, 11 a.m.
Andrew, our patron saint and the first apostle, had a gift for bringing people to meet and hear Jesus. One day Andrew met a child with a basket of fish and some bread. He brought these to Jesus knowing Jesus would know what to do. And five thousand were fed.
In all our ministries, we try to bring people to his Presence. Even through simple, quiet tasks of care and worship. Even on the brink of closing some 50 years ago.

Sunday, September 7, 2014 was "Renaissance" Sunday
The parish celebrated the renovation of our church buildings, the beginning of a renewed outreach mission, and the start of the church year on Sunday September 7, 2014 with a festive, "Renaissance" themed get-together. Bishop McConnell blessed and rededicated the buildings at the opening of this "Opening Doors" event. We had an excellent bagpiper, a magician who was also a balloon guy, a popsicle stand, wonderful food and hospitality, booths for checking out our parish groups and organizations. beautiful weather, and lots of time to enjoy each others' company. Quite a few neighbors stopped by to see what all the fun was about...
