During the month of June St. Andrew’s was fortunate to have three different celebrants. Fr. Mike Bedrosian was our celebrant the first weekend. The third weekend we welcomed Fr. Thomas Williams, chair of the Religious Studies Department at USF in Tampa. The second and fourth weekends we were graced with The Rev Canon Durning. Thank you to each of these gentlemen. We are pleased to announce we have Rev. Robert Hennagin engaged as our Priest-In-Charge. Fr. Bob officially began his tenure with St. Andrew’s the weekend of June 30/July 1. His family will not be moving to Spring Hill at this time; they will remain in Ft. Myers. Fr. Bob will be on campus each week from mid-afternoon on Saturday to mid- afternoon on Wednesday. He is avail- able at all times via cell phone. Fr. Bob’s phone number is: 239-890-4163 Fr. Bob’s email is: bobhennagin@gmail.com The next step in our search for a new rector is the parish survey. It is our desire to capture the voice of all of St. Andrew’s parishioners for this parish pro- file. To help de- fer the cost of mailing, the parish survey is available in the back of the church. Please pick up your survey. To have your voice counted in the final tally, we need your completed survey returned by July 22 nd . We will mail surveys to our snowbirds and home- bound. There is a box in the back of the sanctuary for completed surveys. The third step is to select a Search Committee. The Committee will use the survey results to discern the parish profile, where parishioners feel the future of St. Andrew’s lies, and the qualities most pre- ferred in a rector. There is a letter in your survey packet that asks if you are willing to be on the committee. If you are inter- ested, please note on the letter and re- turn. No phone calls, please. Reminder – Vacation Bible School is the week of July 30 th . Many parishioners asked for this ministry. Now is the time to volunteer to help. A beautification project in the Memorial Gardens has been completed. Dead grass has been removed and replaced with new sod. This project was made possible due to a very generous gift from one of our fellow parishioners, Adele Ruggiero, and a deeply discounted labor rate from Mr. Fred Dehn, the owner of our lawn care service. Stop by the Gardens if you have a moment. Another air conditioning problem has been addressed in Krysher Hall. The unit above the Thrift Shop kiosk overflowed its drain pan. For- tunately, none of the merchan- dise in the kiosk was damaged. The ceiling was damaged and will be inspected to determine if replacement will be necessary rather than repair and repainting. Two of the sanctuary hanging lights were flickering a couple of weeks ago. Our own Pete Jackson inspected and diagnosed the problem as a defective circuit breaker and rectified the situation. A special thank you to Pete and Lannie Kline for the generous gifts of their time and talents which have saved us so much expense over the years.

St. Andrew’s VPK, Preschool and Child Care News Geri Anderson, Director
“The Lazy Days of Summer 2012”
are here in Friendship Hall each day!
The children are having fun creating arts
and crafts, playing games, and enjoying
their daily hot lunches from Healthy
Cameals by Camille Kennedy.
Registration is coming along nicely
for our new school year beginning in
August for both VPK (Voluntary Pre-
Kindergarten) and preschool (the
younger three-year-olds). Be sure to
pass on our phone number for interested
parents to register children for the new
school year beginning August 20, 2012 –
683-7013.
We started off the summer with a
visit to our St. Andrew’s Thrift Shop
to purchase gifts for Father’s Day.
Many special thanks to Pat Trama and
Colleen Kovacs for letting our children
shop for their wonderful gifts and for
allowing them to s t r e t c h their dollars
to buy so much!!! After our wonderful
days of shopping, the children wrapped
their gifts using plenty of tape(!) and
made Father’s Day cards for their dad-
dies. This truly is a frugal year for us, as
we used leftover wrapping paper from
Christmas time, and our dads did not
mind one bit! These presents were truly a
sight to behold both inside and out.
We look forward to the rest of our
summer with weekly themes such as “We
Love Watermelon,” “Hooray for the Red,
White, and Blue,” “The London Olympic
Games,” “Take Me Out to the Ball
Game,” “Up, Up and Away” and “In
Praise of Pets.” We have fun each
morning on the playground playing un-
der the shade of all our beautiful trees,
and look forward to having ice cold pop-
sicles each afternoon. The weeks of sum-
mer will go by quickly, and before you
know it, it will be time for school once
again!
Christian formation & education
is a life-long process and is offered
in the Anglican tradition of seeking
the truth from diverse viewpoints,
even as our relationship with God
through Jesus never wavers.
Different viewpoints may be
represented at different times.
