A brief correction, to note that this Sunday the assembly of choir and orchestra will have us conducting the 9 a.m. service in the Church also, and not in the Chapel . . . . BruceR -----Original Message----- From: Rector Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2016 3:25 PM To: 'Groups St Andrew's'; 'Neighborhood' Subject: All Saints Sunday 2016 A reminder that services at St. Andrew's on All Saints Sunday, November 6, 2016, include a 9 a.m. service of the Holy Communion in the Chapel and an 11 a.m. Choral service of the Holy Communion in the Church. Both services will include prayers remembering departed loved ones of the congregation. At the 11 a.m. service the St. Andrew's Parish Choir and the Pittsburgh Festival Orchestra, under the direction of Thomas Octave, will present the F.J.

During the 10 a.m. "hour between the services" our Adult Bible Study meets in the Parlor, downstairs in the Old Rectory, continuing a study of the Book of Hebrews. Our Coffee and Conversation Group meets in Barley Hall, downstairs in the Parish House. This week our conversation will feature a report from our parish clergy and lay deputies to the annual diocesan convention. All are welcome! Bruce Robison, Rector St. Andrew's Church, Highland Park

This event will be a fun way to help get the word out to the community.” Besides different gift items, adults and kids alike will have the chance to try their hand at painting their own balsa wood ornament. There will be unpainted birds and butterflies forms that have been expertly carved by artists from the island of Solentiname in Lake Nicaragua.

There will also be Nicaraguan coffee from the Pittsburgh-based, non-profit, Building New Hope.

03 Nov '16

If anyone is looking for dog walking services, I'd like to recommend Lynn B. who has been in my employ for 6 years. She is a former vet tech with 16 years of experience and is highly reliable. Several winters ago she took the bus to my house to stay with my dog in a snowstorm, as I work 12 hour days. She is currently looking to take on more clients in the Highland Park area. You can contact her directly for pricing and other references at 412-951-5519. Thanks! Donna
