During the month of June St.

Andrew’s was fortunate to have

three different celebrants. Fr. Mike

Bedrosian was our celebrant the

first weekend. The third weekend we

welcomed Fr. Thomas Williams, chair

of the Religious Studies Department

at USF in Tampa. The second and

fourth weekends we were graced

with The Rev Canon Durning. Thank

you to each of these gentlemen.

We are pleased to announce we

have Rev. Robert Hennagin engaged

as our Priest-In-Charge.

Fr. Bob officially began his tenure

with St. Andrew’s the weekend of

June 30/July 1. His family will not be

moving to Spring Hill at this time;

they will remain in Ft. Myers. Fr. Bob

will be on campus each week from

mid-afternoon on Saturday to mid-

afternoon on Wednesday. He is avail-

able at all times via cell phone.

Fr. Bob’s phone number is:

239-890-4163

Fr. Bob’s email is:

bobhennagin@gmail.com

The next step in our search for

a new rector is the parish survey. It

is our desire to capture the voice of

all of St. Andrew’s parishioners for

this parish pro-

file. To help de-

fer the cost of

mailing, the

parish survey is

available in the

back of the

church. Please

pick up your

survey. To have your voice counted in the

final tally, we need your completed survey

returned by July 22nd. We will mail

surveys to our snowbirds and home-

bound. There is a box in the back of the

sanctuary for completed surveys.

The third step is to select a Search

Committee. The Committee will use the

survey results to discern the parish profile,

where parishioners feel the future of St.

Andrew’s lies, and the qualities most pre-

ferred in a rector. There is a letter in your

survey packet that asks if you are willing

to be on the committee. If you are inter-

ested, please note on the letter and re-

turn. No phone calls, please.

Reminder – Vacation Bible School is

the week of July 30th. Many parishioners

asked for this ministry. Now is the time to

volunteer to help.

A beautification project in the Memorial

Gardens has been completed. Dead grass

has been removed and replaced with new

sod. This project was made possible due to a

very generous gift from one of our fellow

parishioners, Adele Ruggiero, and a deeply

discounted labor rate from Mr. Fred Dehn,

the owner of our lawn care service. Stop by

the Gardens if you have a moment.

Another air conditioning problem has

been addressed in Krysher Hall. The unit

above the Thrift

Shop kiosk

overflowed its

drain pan. For-

tunately, none

of the merchan-

dise in the kiosk

was damaged.

The ceiling was damaged and will be

inspected to determine if replacement

will be necessary rather than repair and

repainting.

Two of the sanctuary hanging lights

were flickering a couple of weeks ago.

Our own Pete Jackson inspected and

diagnosed the problem as a defective

circuit breaker and rectified the situation.

A special thank you to Pete and Lannie

Kline for the generous gifts of their time

and talents which have saved us so much

expense over the years.

FRIENDS of the LIBRARY Sally Cloughly

The Friends don’t meet again until

Tuesday October 9, 2012. We hope

many of you will join us that day.

We begin with an informal bag lunch,

then a business meeting, and end

with book club. It is a delightful after-

noon—come share your love of good

books with some wonderful new

friends! All are welcome.

Thanks to all who supported our joint

fundraiser with the Youth Ministry on

June 2. The Friends made about $50 to

help with our Library ministry.

The Witt Library is open for your book

browsing pleasure whenever Krysher

Hall is open. Directions to take out

books are on the desk. Come see our

eclectic collection. Happy Reading!

YOUTH MINISTRY RISING

THE FUTURE OF ST. ANDREW’S is

our youth. Our ministry continues to

meet throughout the summer and is

blessed to have a growing group of

young souls interested in experiencing

the love of Christ through our fellow-

ship. The big thing on our minds this

summer: Get to Orlando in September!

Our last trip was in 2009—we attended

two nights of Contemporary Christian

concerts at “Night of Joy.” Now our

sights are set on “Rock the Universe,” for

two nights of amazing love and live mu-

sic. Some of the biggest names in Con-

temporary Christian music will

perform including Family Force 5, For

King & Country, Skillet, Switchfoot,

Newsboys, Relient K, Jeremy Camp,

tobyMac, Tenth Avenue North, Britt

Nicole and many more. Several celebrity

speakers (actors, musicians, and Champi-

onship MMA Fighter Vitor Belfort) will

also share their Christian stories.

Our fundraising goal is at least $3000 –

the amount needed for about 25 people

to attend (adult chaperones will pay their

own way). This includes the cost of a two

-night ticket, two nights lodging, and

food. We have raised nearly $1,000; but

getting the rest is a challenge. The good

news is that you have several opportuni-

ties to help! Here are some ways to show

your support:

✞ Buy a Raffle ticket! Drawing is Sun-

day September 2. Prizes so far include a

$300 cash prize; $150 cash prize; and

gift certificates for Home Depot, Hess,

Cracker Barrel, Publix and Applebee's.

We'll keep adding prizes as we go.

Please ask your favorite local restau-

rants, hair salons, grocery stores, etc. to

donate a gift card to our cause! Tickets

are available for a suggested donation

of $5 each or 6 for $25.

✞ Car Wash & Bake Sale at Advance

Auto Parts on Saturday, July 7 from

9 am to 3 pm (13427 Cortez Blvd—

corner of SR 50 & Sunshine Grove

Road, Brooksville). PLEASE BAKE if

you can. Drop off donations of baked

goods at the church office Monday

through Thursday until 2 pm (office is

closed on Wed. for July 4). Stop by –

we’ll clean your car and you can enjoy a

nice fresh baked good while you wait!

✞ Baby Sitting Fun Night on the Friday

night at the end of Vacation Bible School

(Fri. Aug. 4). Parents can take a few

hours for themselves! Drop-off your child

for some fun (with yummy treats of

course). 5 pm to 9 pm – Suggested Dona-

tion: $5/hour. PLEASE REGISTER in

advance by calling the church office with

your name, child’s name, and any special

dietary restrictions, allergies, etc.

✞ Invest in our future - take STOCK in

our youth! Purchase a Stock Certificate

that you can proudly display to show you

have faith in our future! Contact Betty

Audette or Jody Bowes for more details.

Shares may be purchased via your dona-

tion of $10 per share (a bargain!). Our

“Stockholders” will be entitled to receive

periodic “Stock Reports” from individual

youth ministry members letting you know

how their Christian service, education and

experiences (at St. Andrew’s and beyond)

are making a difference in their lives.

✞ Be a Sponsor! You can sponsor one or

more of our young people to attend Rock

the Universe through your donation of any

amount. Cost per person is about $150.

Our youth are faithful servants of God here

at St. Andrew’s, always willing to help with

any event or task that they are asked to do.

Please support them as they work to earn

their way to sharing in such a wonderful

event. The September event tickets must be

purchased before the end of August to get

the discounted price. Thousands of Christian

youth from all over Florida and beyond will

come together to worship through music.

Standing amid such a multitude of praise is

an experience that can change lives and will

long be remembered by all who attend. God

bless you for helping our young people grow

in Christian fellowship!

St. Andrew’s VPK, Preschool and Child Care News Geri Anderson, Director

“The Lazy Days of Summer 2012”

are here in Friendship Hall each day!

The children are having fun creating arts

and crafts, playing games, and enjoying

their daily hot lunches from Healthy

Cameals by Camille Kennedy.

Registration is coming along nicely

for our new school year beginning in

August for both VPK (Voluntary Pre-

Kindergarten) and preschool (the

younger three-year-olds). Be sure to

pass on our phone number for interested

parents to register children for the new

school year beginning August 20, 2012 –

683-7013.

We started off the summer with a

visit to our St. Andrew’s Thrift Shop

to purchase gifts for Father’s Day.

Many special thanks to Pat Trama and

Colleen Kovacs for letting our children

shop for their wonderful gifts and for

allowing them to s t r e t c h their dollars

to buy so much!!! After our wonderful

days of shopping, the children wrapped

their gifts using plenty of tape(!) and

made Father’s Day cards for their dad-

dies. This truly is a frugal year for us, as

we used leftover wrapping paper from

Christmas time, and our dads did not

mind one bit! These presents were truly a

sight to behold both inside and out.

We look forward to the rest of our

summer with weekly themes such as “We

Love Watermelon,” “Hooray for the Red,

White, and Blue,” “The London Olympic

Games,” “Take Me Out to the Ball

Game,” “Up, Up and Away” and “In

Praise of Pets.” We have fun each

morning on the playground playing un-

der the shade of all our beautiful trees,

and look forward to having ice cold pop-

sicles each afternoon. The weeks of sum-

mer will go by quickly, and before you

know it, it will be time for school once

again!

Christian formation & education

is a life-long process and is offered

in the Anglican tradition of seeking

the truth from diverse viewpoints,

even as our relationship with God

through Jesus never wavers.

Different viewpoints may be

represented at different times.

We would encourage each of you to read each Book listed above to experience the

full impact of our Living God as He becomes the God of Israel. Realize that these

books are approximately 2500 to 3500 years old, and yet they each have a profound

effect upon our lives as Christians living in the year 2012.

Next month we shall look at the poetry of this section – again in the same format.

THE OLD TESTAMENT By Ludwig J. Wallner

Seventh of a series on the Bible, helping

us to develop a better understanding of

Bible writers, locations and themes of

the various books.

People who have read the Bible are very

familiar with the order of the Old Testa-

ment in our “English” Bible. These are

basically The Law of Moses (the first five

books); the Poetical Books (Writings); and

lastly the Prophets. If we refer to Luke

24:27,44, we see a different structure to

the bible: The Law of Moses, the Prophets

and then the Psalms or Writings. For the

ease of understanding the Old Testament,

we shall use the division of the Writings

and then the Prophets, dividing the Writ-

ings into two sections: (1) History and (2)

Poetry.

History: This section is a record of Israel’s

spiritual growth and then her decline.

Rather than go into great detail about each

book contained in this section, we shall

use a graph from “The Nelson Study Bi-

ble” to help illustrate this section of the

Old Testament.
