Church Growth in the Diocese of Central NY

Closing Service and Celebration of Ministry for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church
Sunday, January 6 at 4:30 in the afternoon
Celebrant: The Rt. Rev. Gladstone B. Adams III

A Reception will be held immediately following the Service.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church
401 Morador Rd.
Vestal, NY 13850

Editor's Note: It has been suggested that this might indeed be an attempt at church growth. Some believe that it might be a last ditch effort by the diocese to form a congregation for the Mirador (correct spelling) Road facilities. It is a strange day for a church closing. One would think that a bishop would have better liturgical sense than close a church on the Feast of the Epiphany, so maybe there is something to the speculation.

Secondly, I was told that a Ukrainian pastor called the diocese to ask about purchasing 401 Mirador and was told that they aren't selling at this point. To this point the diocese has not been able to identify sufficient leadership for a congregation at this site.
