ST ANDREW’S UPDATE FOR WEEK COMMENCING 23rd FEBRUARY

THIS SUNDAY – THE SECOND SUNDAY BEFORE LENT

09:00 Holy Communion (traditional language)
11:00 Holy Communion with hymns

The 11 a.m. service will be lived-streamed on our YouTube channel, St. Andrews Anglican Church Moscow. The order of service can be found here for those joining us online.

MASLENITSA/PANCAKE SUNDAY
Next Sunday (2nd March) to mark the approach of Lent, we will be having a pancake party after the 11 a.m. service. If you can help by making pancakes or bringing toppings, please see Sara Harris. We will also be having a Biblical-themed quiz, so come and test your knowledge!

PUB QUIZ
Thank you to everyone who came and supported last Monday’s pub quiz. We raised just over RR31,000 for Mary’s Meals. This money will help children in Southern Africa – which is experiencing its worst drought in 100 years - to get a nourishing school meal and remain in full-time education.

CONFIRMATION
If you are interested in being confirmed, or learning more about what confirmation involves, please see Fr. Arun. He will be starting a preparation course after Easter and we hope to have a bishop visit us for the confirmation service later in the year.

SIMPLE SOUP LUNCHES
During Lent (from 9th March onwards) we will be holding our Simple Soup lunches every week, in order to raise funds for charitable causes. We have a loyal team, who regularly make soup and provide bread and cheese, but if you would like to join in and help spread the load, please see Liz.

MORNING PRAYER
is said daily, Monday to Friday at 8:30am in the chapel. It is also live streamed on our YouTube channel, St. Andrews Anglican Church Moscow. You can find the text and audio version of Morning Prayer on the 'Daily Prayer' app by Aimer Media, or the Church of England's website.

After this Sunday’s service, we will be raising funds at our simple soup lunch to help Father Henry and his team at the SS Simon and Jude Nursey and Primary School in Enugu, Nigeria replace the school’s water pump. As you can see from the attached photos, the electrics in the school leave a lot to be desired! Any donations – however large or small – will help ensure that the children have a safe supply of clean drinking water and a better learning environment. Unfortunately, we cannot accept card payments for our charity collections, so please make sure you bring cash with you on Sunday.

give us the courage to overcome our fears
and to seek that unity which is your gift and your will;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
