13 May 2012 ~ Sixth Sunday in Easter; Mother's Day
Inside Sanctuary

1 John 5:1-6. Everyone who loves the parent loves the child.

On this very special day honoring mothers, the mothering spirit, and the feminine attributes of God, we are also called to remember to love children.

There are some matriarchal cultures where women guide, nurture, teach, and love the whole community. We are parents to children, friends, and neighbors in the most routine ways. The age of the person does not matter. Sometimes a child needs a friend. Sometimes an adult needs discipline and guidance. Sometimes our parents go back to being children and we assume the role of parent to them, attending to their every need.

This is a model passed on to our children. We want them to know that as they develop and learn they will someday be doing the teaching and leading.

In this over-scheduled, over-achieving, over-stimulated world, we can’t help but wonder what is being modeled for our children and how they know they are loved, so that they will someday also be able to share that love with others.

St. Andrew's Vision and Mission
Icon Jesus

Saint Andrew’s is a parish church in the Diocese of Los Angeles of the Episcopal Church U.S.A., a member of the world-wide Anglican Communion, daughter churches of the Church of England.

We are a praying parish where all are welcome. We are Christians of every type, old and young, married and single, gay and straight, different nationalities and cultures, native-born and foreign-born, conservative and liberal, sinners and saints. We are bound together by God’s love for us and our love for God and one another.

 

St. Andrew's strives to foster a welcoming, inclusive, and loving community in which we:


1) follow Jesus Christ in Spirit and Truth

2) worship God
3) educate our children, inquirers, and ourselves in Christian faith and life

4) serve the needs and hungers of the world in fulfillment of the two great commandments to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
