OF ST. ANDREW
The stated purpose of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew is
the spread of Christ’s Kingdom among men and boys. The
Brotherhood is open to men and boys of this parish as well
as any parish in the Diocese, as we are the only chapter
operating in West Tennessee. Meetings are held twice
monthly on the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m.
in Quilling Chapel. On the 2nd Saturday, meetings consist
of Holy Eucharist, and a prepared breakfast of eggs, bacon,
grits and biscuits followed by Bible Study. The 4th Saturday
meeting is a service of Morning Prayer followed by donuts
and coff ee in the Parish Hall and Bible Study. Each year
in December, offi cers and new members are installed at a
special service followed by a catered breakfast for members
and their spouses. The Brotherhood also hosts the Shrove
Tuesday Pancake Supper to raise money for those in need.
All Episcopal laymen are invited to become members of
the Holy Communion chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew.

The Order of the Daughters of the King is an order of

Regular meetings are held each month at which time
members participate in study activities to increase their
knowledge and faith. Each woman called to this ministry
prays daily for specific individuals, parishioners and
those for whom parishioners have requested prayer.
All names and circumstances are kept confidential.

SUPPER CLUB
Supper groups at Church of the Holy Communion began
in 1989 to promote fellowship among parishioners. Groups
consist of 8 – 12 people who meet in each other’s homes for
an evening of food and fellowship with each member of
the group contributing to the menu. A new group is now
forming.

THIRD QUARTER GROUP
The Third Quarter Group is for adults of all ages who like to
take advantage of a variety of activities, many of which are
held on weekdays. The objective is to offer regular programs
and outings that will be of interest to people who like to stay
on the go.

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
Holy Communion has been blessed with many young
professionals in the church. The young professionals group
has been defi ned as individuals who are typically 20 and
30-year-olds without children. With this being said all are
welcome! A group of 5 young professionals in the church
have been meeting on a regular basis to come up with
some social and spiritual opportunities that will bring the
young professionals at Holy Communion closer together.

CROSSROADS
Crossroads is currently a social gathering. They typically
gather on the 4th Friday of each month at a restaurant around
town or at someone’s home. They visit different locations
frequently to acodomate as many people as possible and
to try out new places together. The purpose of Crossroads
is to get to know others in the church, so that we can have
someone to sit with in church or at Sunday school; we
might go as a group to the shrimp supper, the EYC dinner
dance or a community event; or we might work together
on a service project, such as Habitat or the Angel Tree at
Christmas.
