Festive Evensong (sung Evening Prayer), Saturday, August 10^th at 6:30, to welcome The Rt. Rev. Stephen T. Lane, Bishop of Maine. This is Bishop Lane’s regular visit to the Parish of St. Andrew and John. He will be meeting with the Vestry that afternoon, then leading us in worship at a festive Evensong service at St. John, followed by an opportunity for informal conversation with him over dessert.  A special collection will be taken at the Evensong for the Bishop’s Discretionary Fund.  The BDF supports a number of urgent pastoral needs throughout our diocese, much as the Rector’s Discretionary Fund functions within our parish.   Both are always in need of support.  Checks should be made out the St. Andrew and St. John, with “BDF” in the memo line. Worship on Sunday, August 11, will follow our regular summer schedule.
