Summer Sunday School
A combined class for preschool through 5th grade will meet at 9:45 am in the first floor classroom this Sunday. This summer’s theme is Psalms. We will read some favorite psalms in kid language and have appropriate crafts. Crafts to accompany each weeks psalms will include creating apple trees, space mobiles, sheep, flannel blankies, noisemakers, 3D mountains, and shrinky dink charms. There will also be free play time, snacks, and games.
Blood Pressure Screening
The Episcopal Health Ministers will provide blood pressure screenings in the church office after both services.
Upcoming Events
Summer Reading: “The BFG” by Roald Dahl
Mondays, June 30 - July 28 | 7:15 pm in the Play Yard
We will again have a summer reading
program, open to everyone who likes to take part in telling a good story (or just listen to a good
story). The readings are drop-in. Each week we assign parts, including the narrator of the story, when a
specific character is not speaking. “The BFG” is a great story. Bring a chair and come give it a try!
Art Fair Parking
Ann Arbor Art Fair is July 17 - 18 - 19!
Heading to the Art Fair on Saturday, July 19? Come park at St. Andrew's! We will be selling parking for $20 a vehicle in our Catherine Street lot starting at 9:30 am and continuing until the lot fills. All funds raised go to the Youth Pilgrimage fund!
MI Episcopal Young Adults & Young Families Gathering and Potluck

Our MI Episcopal Young Adults & Young Families (formerly Millennials & Z) will meet at Riverside Park
(2 E Cross St, Ypsilanti, MI 48198) for a potluck at 12:30 pm on Sunday, July 27. Normally we meet in A2 around St Andrew’s but we will do this so it is central and Trinity (Belleville) and St Luke’s (Ypsi) can come, along with the other A2 Episcopal churches. All are welcome!

Music Notes
Hymns 605 and 610
Today’s Gospel lesson is the story of the Good Samaritan, so we sing two hymns about service by Albert Bayly (1901-1984), an English Congregational minister who wrote many hymns during a career spanning much of the 20th century. Hymn 605, (1949), quotes the prophet Micah in its opening question, but that is also the question the lawyer raises with Jesus: “what must I do?” Hymn 610 was written in response to a call for new hymns; it was chosen as the conference hymn for an NCC meeting in 1961. Both demonstrate Rev. Bayly’s ability to connect the Gospel to worship and service in contemporary life. - Donna Wessel Walker
