CORRECTION:  Wrong Article in Net Tender

Update and Correction
from the Parish of
St. Andrew & St. John

Correction to Net Tender

Fr. TIm wrote two versions of his monthly newsletter article.
 The one intended for inclusion in the Net Tender
was to have begun with this paragraph:

As I write, we find ourselves once again (or perhaps still?) in a time of transition and trying new things.  We have expanded our outreach to our neighbors by partnering with the Common Good CafĂ© for community suppers.  We are making our buildings available to more community groups, even when that occasionally means we are inconvenienced.  And we are in conversations with our friends and neighbors about a possible new relationship among the other Episcopal parishes on this island and our clergy.

St. Andrew and John
are NOT in the midst of calling a new person
to lead our music ministry!
 

Apologies for the confusion!

URGENT!  WE NEED PEOPLE OF FAITH TO STEP UP AND SPEAK UP in opposition to a sudden request from Maine's Department of Health and Human Services to the federal Medicaid authorities that would have a devastating impact on Maine's poorest and most vulnerable residents.  DHHS has requested a waiver that would allow them to impose severe restrictions and require recipients to pay premiums and copays, effectively preventing their access to health care. There will be two public hearings on this waiver application:
In Portland at the Cross Arena, Wednesday, May 17, 9am to Noon
In Augusta at the Civic Center, Thursday, May 18, 9am to Noon
 
Genetic Tails with the Jesup and JAX:  St. Saviour's own Dr. Dan Gatti is creating the "Dogs of MDI" project:  a database of DNA from area dogs that will be used to study and teach genomics.  Thursday, May 18, 7 PM, at the Jesup Library in Bar Harbor, Dan will present his project and his research on dog genomics.  Then on Saturday, May 20, from noon to 4 PM, bring your dog to the Jesup for DNA testing.  The test is a non-invasive cheek swab which takes only a few minutes, and later this summer participants will receive a spreadsheet of their dog's DNA information.  The cost of the laboratory testing is $105, and your dog cannot eat for 30 minutes prior to testing.  Jesup Library:  288-4245.
