 Saint Andrew's Chapel -
resumed summer services in July and will continue through August.
Late summer services have been a long standing tradition. Many
people are involved in preparing the chapel for use each summer.
It has a capacity of about 60 people and is in a wooded setting
along the Lake Ontario shoreline. The chapel is over one hundred
years old and takes many of the older members back to their youth
when country churches were small and functional. Its peaceful
setting is a provides a delightful worship experience. Click

 Lenten Series 2000 - We
were privileged to have Dr. Richard Henshaw, Professor of Old
Testament at Bexley Hall Seminary, speak to us each Thursday
evening during Lent this year. His topic was "Hard Words
of the Prophets." This proved to be extremely interesting
in examining what the prophets had to say to their generation
and to explore how their words are interpreted by us today. Dr.
Henshaw's gifts as a teacher and his delightful sense of humor
brought new insight to us as we contemplate Holy Week and walking
once more with Jesus to the cross and beyond. The prophets had
very direct words to say to their generation about how the people
were living and what should be changed. Interestingly, their
words seem to resonate with us today as well. |

Old Organ is Bound for a New Home - On January 19,
2000 our old tracker organ which
had served us faithfully for several years was disassembled and
taken away to its new home. The picture at the left will remind
older parishioners of how the sanctuary looked before the purchase
of the tracker organ. Sunday, January 16, 2000 was the last time
the organ was used for services. Organist Karyn Pfluger gave
it one last glorious workout playing "Canon in D" by
Pachelbel as the prelude to the service, many hymns that demonstrated
the best qualities of the organ and concluding with Widors "Toccata
from Symphony No. 5" as the postlude. While the tracker
organ will be missed, we look forward to hearing the first notes
from the new, larger organ to be installed after the new sanctuary
is completed. |

| New Organ Arrives - On January 10, 2000 the new to us organ purchased for the new sanctuary arrived in Webster from Atlanta. A number of parishioners helped to unload it and store it safely in a climate controlled warehouse until the new sanctuary is completed and the organ can be installed.
