The Big Tent is Coming!

Make your travel plans for the World Mission Matters partner conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, June 30-July 2, 2011 – because the Big Tent will be pitched in Indy after all!

Last summer’s General Assembly voted to refrain from holding national meetings in states where new immigration laws make it possible that travel by Presbyterians of color or Hispanic ancestry might subject them to harassment. Indiana’s proposed legislation was modified, thus opening the way for us to hold the conference in Indianapolis. We’re thankful to God that the way is clear to gather our diverse family in Indianapolis for World Mission Matters at Big Tent!

Rutter's Requiem, Sunday May 15th

Requiem to take choirs to Charleston, NYC | The Post and Courier, Charleston SC - News, Sports, Entertainment
Making the Requiem sound lovely, then, happens when musicianship and music marry, when breath and sound become one.

Embracing this challenge are the combined choirs of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in West Ashley and Central Presbyterian Church in Anderson. They will perform Rutter's Requiem at 3 p.m. May 15 at St. Andrew's, 712 Wappoo Road.

The performance is a prelude to a May 30 concert at Carnegie Hall in New York, part of a large gathering of singers from about a half-dozen choirs who will have a special experience performing under the baton of the composer himself.

The May 15 presentation is free(though donations are welcome) and will be followed by a reception.

Feeding of the Multitude Today

Good morning everyone!  Today is the day!  Angie Blackburn had a good idea that if some people wanted to carpool to meet at the church around 2:15 pm to leave at 2:30 pm to get to the park.  Our shift is from 3pm-4pm today and we should arrive around 2:45 pm to take over from the prior crew. Since we are the last shift we most likely will be helping to clean up too.  We will probably be there about 2 hours all total!  I have been hearing the advertisements on the radio for all the locations over the last 3 days (West Ashley, downtown and on the islands).  I think it will be a big turnout. 

 

Spike just sent me a text and it says:  Perfect day for feeding of the multitude!  I agree with him!  Weather will be perfect!  See you there!

Friday movie night, "Amazing Grace"

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather we've had this week!  Perfect!

 

Just a reminder:  the youth are sponsoring a movie night this Friday (Oct. 8) at 7:00 in the fellowship hall.

 

The movie will be "Amazing Grace," about the life of Wilber Wilberforce and his efforts to end the slave trade in the British Empire.

 

When the movie was out in theatres a few years ago about 20 people from St. A's saw it together.  It's truly a remarkable story of faith, courage and persistence.

 

The youth will provide the movie snacks. 

 

There is no charge for the movie or snacks, but donations will be accepted.  The money raised will be used for the youth mission trip in 2011.

 

See you Friday!
