Can you believe Summer is over?

Can you feel fall (?!?) in the air? Well, it

is. In September we “kick off” our pro-

grams. To begin this, we have our KICK

OFF Sunday with a picnic – hot dogs and

hamburgers after the 10:30 service.

We are going to try to offer something

every month that can involve the entire

parish. You can select the ones that appeal

to you. This will be a great opportunity to

meet the parishioners that you do not see at

weekly services. On September 21st at 6

pm there will be an ice cream social and

game night. Bring a game and/or a partner

and be prepared for a fun filled evening.

Check throughout the Chimes for informa-

tion for some additional events.

Thank you Brittany Traudt! For insurance

purposes, we needed to photograph all our

assets. This included computers, printers,

organ, vestments, and a host of other items.

Brittany took the pictures, put them to

disk, and made a listing.

Florida has a fall baseball season. We have

a ballpark across the street. We want

young families to know we support them.

See where this is going? Yes, St Andrew’s

is going to support a baseball team. We

will also have a 4x8 sign in the outfield.

is a room specifically for babies or little

ones and their parents to go to as they need

during the service. I am envisioning this

room to be built between the church and

the bathrooms in back of the church. They

would have the window so they would still

see the service going on and a speaker so

they could still hear everything. This addi-

tion though would cover over our little

fountains. We would enclose the narthex

area and I would like to also have a family

room for funerals and a bride’s room for

weddings on the other side of the church

between the church and the youth room,

most of the time though, this room could

be used as a choir room. Another benefit of

this is that the bathrooms would be air con-

ditioned.

I would like to call this the Ernie Bennett

addition and the cry room would be named

for Roz Bennett. (Our first rector currently

has no buildings in his honor or memory

and it would be appropriate to have this for

him.) So, pray about it please! Let me

know, or let any of your vestry know your

concerns or your thoughts. We want St.

Andrew’s Church to be an effective light

for Jesus here in Spring Hill and I think

this would help us be more effective.

May God richly bless you!

Warmly in Christ,

Fr. Lance

Dear Friends,

Welcome back from summer! We are

looking forward to an exciting time this

fall here at St. Andrew’s! As many of you

know we are meeting at Salishan the first

Thursday of every month. We have a

short service for our people there and any

visitors who may attend. If you would like

to come and join us, please do! There are

a number of church members who live

there and are unable to attend here regu-

larly that would love to see you!

We will be starting new adult classes this

fall too! The Wednesday classes will first

be studying the Book of Proverbs. Have

you ever taken those psychological tests

that help you understand what type of

personality you are? Well, Proverbs is that

sort of book too. As we study it, we see

ourselves and what type of character we

have. I hope you will consider attending.

Our youth will begin meeting as well. The

Sunday School classes begin September

8th and the mid-week youth group begins

meeting on September 11th.

And speaking of youth, I would like to

have you begin praying about something

for our church. As I have been here over

the past 6 months I have noticed that

young families come to our services

sometimes with a small child 3 years old

and younger. The child, as little ones do,

gets restless after being confined to a

small area and being told to keep quiet.

Sometimes one of the parents picks the

child up and they take them outside to

walk and play. These families usually do

not return. We need and want young fami-

lies here! I have talked to the vestry about

this and now am bringing this to you. I

would like us to build a ‘cry room.’ This

THE PARISH CHIMES: SEPTEMBER 2013 Page 2

Karen’s Kit ’n Kaboodle THRIFT SHOP Our “Christmas in July” sale advertised

in the summer edition of the Parish

Chimes mysteriously turned into a furni-

ture sale. It was very successful, netting

over $1,700. If we add the $652.25 in-

come from the Thrift Shop for the two

days of the sale when the shop would

have normally been closed (but was

open because of the sale), the total is

$2,3652.25. We thank John Bukazar,

Lannie Kline, Jerry Niedurny, Rick

Pederson and Tom Beem very sincerely

for the huge amount of labor-intensive

work they did to make the sale a suc-

cess. We appreciate our parish family

who supported us and thank you.

YOUTH GROUP Our Wednesday night Youth Group

meetings resume on September 11. We

are excited to be together again to share

fellowship and to make plans for fall,

winter and spring.

We had several young people attend the

diocesan Youth Service Camp at the ca-

thedral in St. Petersburg from August 5

to 9. Together with other youth from our

diocese and youth from the Tree-of-Life

Rosebud Lakota Reservation, our youth

engaged in service projects, outings and

educational programs.

One important item on our radar is help-

ing prepare for the Christmas Pageant.

Because we’re having Confirmation on

Dec. 15 this year, our pageant is early—

on Sunday Dec. 8th we will present the

pageant both at our 10:30 am service and

at 3 pm at the Atria at Evergreen Woods.

MUSIC NOTES Grateful thanks to those who shared their

talents as summer soloists; much thanks

also to those who helped organize more

of our ever-expanding music library.

Our Sanctuary Choir has resumed re-

hearsals (Thursdays at 6:15 pm). We’re

very excited about some of the music

planned for the remaining Pentecost sea-

son and for Advent and Christmas. We

really need YOU to join us—some of our

members are retiring. Here’s a chance for

you to share your musical passion in a

way that serves God and your fellow

parishioners. Sing to the Lord a New

Song!

Our Cantata Choir also continues to re-

hearse (Sundays 12:15 to 1:15 pm).

Among future plans is an Easter Cantata

that also requires a few dramatic readings

and possibly some interpretative move-

ment. Talk to Jody if you’d like to par-

ticipate.

points, even as our relationship with God through Jesus never wavers. Different viewpoints may be represented at different times.

EDITOR’S NOTE Fr. Lance’s Note to the Parish for the Summer Issue was cut short due to

the space requirements for putting out the extended edition. One of the

paragraphs we had to cut in this editor’s humble opinion needs to go out to

our congregation. Here it is:

“At this past May’s Vestry meeting we discussed how good communica-

tions are necessary for healthy churches! Every organization seems to

always suffer from a lack of communications in some way. But we want to

improve! One of the first and most important steps is to have open and hon-

est communications. Therefore, if you see a problem and think something

should be changed; please do not simply complain to others, instead talk to

the one who is responsible. If you are not sure to whom to talk, talk to me

or to one of the vestry members and we will get the situation sorted out.

Christians are supposed to be up front and honest and that is our goal in our

communications. Thank you, Fr. Lance.”

As one who over the years has made his living by communicating I wish to

add my 2¢ worth. One of the things about St. Andrew’s that I have noticed

is that there are many folks doing things for and around the Church in

silence and anonymity. I have been a member of this church for several

years now and I am continually discovering things that I think everyone

should be aware of. One of the purposes of The Chimes is to make every-

one in our church family aware of what goes on here. If you are working

in a ministry that is not being publicized, let us know. If you are aware that

someone you know is doing a ministry or service for the church, please

also let us know. As some people who do ministry or service prefer to

remain anonymous, we will not publish any names without permission.

I believe that we all need to know what is going on so that we can lend a

hand or at least keep that activity supported in our prayers.

Please contact me and help me get the word out.
