St. Andrew’s Chosen for National Clergy Renewal Program Grant

Julie Miller — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:10:12 +0000

As part of its National Clergy Renewal Program, Lilly Endowment Inc., a private philanthropic foundation, has awarded a $36,775 grant to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. This grant will support a three-month sabbatical for the Reverend Kevin Nichols, as well as a parish-wide Outreach Mission Project.

The Parish Renewal Project grant provides funds for St. Andrew’s to discern and design a long term, parish-wide outreach mission. The hope is this effort will lead to a permanent outreach mission project for the parish. Additionally, Kevin will embark on a formal study and research project entitled “Authority, Leadership, and Accountability – Lessons from Rome, Canterbury, and New Hampshire”. Interviews, travel in the United States, England and Italy, and a period of reflection and rest will form the core of his sabbatical time from May 23, 2012 to September 4, 2012.

Please see our November 2011 for more details.

Samaritan Outreach Fund: Expanding Support of Our Community Work

Julie Miller — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:06:27 +0000

For the past five years, St. Andrews has awarded gifts from our Samaritan Fund every June and December to local, national, and international charitable groups. Now, in addition to these twice-yearly gifts, St. Andrew’s will support our parishioners’ volunteer work and our own communities by dedicating half of each month’s loose plate offering to a local nonprofit. October’s beneficiary is Second Start, an alternative high school and adult literacy and career-training center in Concord, NH.

It’s up to parishioners to choose these nonprofits, and the nominating process is simple. Fill out a Samaritan Fund form (blank forms found in narthex of church) and submit it to the parish office by the third Sunday of each month. The Committee will review requests and present their recommendations to the Vestry at their monthly meeting. For more information, contact Karen Jantzen (dzzp@aol.com) or Chris Miller (miller5529@comcast.net).
