Calendar

The Altar Flower Calendar
The Altar Flower Calendar for 2010 has been posted in the Peabody Room on the dark brown doors leading to the Sanctuary. Your gift of flowers can celebrate any event or honor anyone. Next Sunday, please take a moment to sign up.

Need a ride to Sunday services or some other St. Andrew's event?
Bad weather making you nervous? Car in the shop? Given up driving? No problem!
We can help with weekly or one-time transportation. Pastoral Commission member Judy Adams has organized a St. Andrew's Share-A-Ride Program. Please speak with her at coffee hour after the 10:00 a.m. service on Sundays or leave a message for her at the Parish Office (978-772-2615). She will match you up with a St. Andrew's volunteer driver in your neighborhood.

NOTE: Most (but not all) of the images on this Calendar are links--go ahead and try them.
