July 4 Celebration: Come join us for the 250^th birthday of our nation with parade viewing and a potluck BBQ afterward. Traffic on Ojai Avenue will be closed by 8am on Saturday July 4 so plan accordingly. St. Andrew’s will supply the BBQ meats ( St. Louis style ribs, Chicken, Hot dogs for the little patriots), and Veggie patties for our St Francis patrons. There will be a sign-up sheet in Fisher Hall for potluck dishes. In old fashioned tradition, we will once again hold a pie baking competition. To be blind judged by a panel of unbiased professionals. Prizes for 1^st thru 3^rd place! Bring you’re a game! No store-bought pies, you must assemble the ingredients yourself!

Holy Communion: By tradition, The Episcopal Church offers Holy Communion to all baptized persons. If you are not baptized, but wish to receive, we invite you to participate fully in the opening part of the service, called the Ministry of the Word, hearing God’s word and reflecting on your life, enabling you to come to the table for communion, if you so choose, with a heart prepared to receive. We hope that if you feel touched by the word and sacrament and wish to learn more about the life-giving power of the Spirit of the Risen Christ, you will contact Fr. Bill Knutson to inquire about participating in Holy Baptism.
