Alleluia Christ is Risen! We have concluded our journey through Lent towards the challenging but rewarding conclusion. For everyone who took some time over the last 6 weeks to grow your faith in an intentional way I am proud! I’d like to highlight a few wonderful moments that have occurred over the last month or so at St. Andrew’s. Thank you to Mike Epting and Cyndi Clark for leading the discussions in church regarding our stained-glass windows. These presentations were insightful and thoughtful. It was interesting to learn more about the windows that we have passively observed, I noticed new items in the windows and made new connections. Thank you. Our adult Bible study times have had great attendance, and the discussions have been lively. I’ve enjoyed learning with you and look forward to more. We experimented with adding some more traditional service styles into our worship repertoire. I have heard people enjoy “passing the peace,” if parts of our worship service sing to your soul in a powerful way please let me or the Worship and Music Committee know, we love to hear feedback.
Coming up we have new member classes and a welcome, a major anniversary (with Bishop Foster and meal), we will participate in the Battle of Yorktown and host a Produce Sale.
Our church is turning 70! For 70 years at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, Christ has been proclaimed, people reminded that their sins have been forgiven, disciples have been organized and sent to share the news. Take a moment to thank God for all that has happened, is happening and will happen through the people of St. Andrew’s. Our special anniversary celebration will happen on April 19th, we will have ONE service at 10am, Bishop Katrina Foster will preach, afterwards we will enjoy a luncheon. Come and join us at this wonderful event.
See You on Sunday! Pastor Dave
