Rector's Warden

November is a meaningful transition month for our parish as we wrap up autumn and look ahead to the new church year, which kicks off with the First Sunday of Advent on November 29. It’s a wonderful time to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the season of expectation to come. It’s also the perfect time to give thanks to God for all He has provided as we gather together with loved ones for Thanksgiving.

November also brings our Stewardship campaign, when we reflect on how we care for our church home through our financial support. Please join us after the 10 a.m. service on Sunday, November 22, for our Family Meeting, where we will celebrate all we have accomplished so far this year and plan for what we hope to accomplish in 2027. Then, on Sunday, November 29, we will have our combined St Andrew’s Day of Joyful Giving 10am service, where all parishioners are asked to prayerfully consider and submit their financial pledges for next year.

Finally, a quick note about The Piper. The purpose of this monthly newsletter is to be the “voice of the people,” written by parishioners for parishioners to keep everyone in the loop on the many activities and news of the parish. This space belongs to the whole church community, so if you have an idea for an article, please don’t hesitate to contact Rev’d Ben or me to see how you can get involved.
