EGG-STRAVAGANZA: AN EASTER EVENT

Children’s Ministry is hosting an Eggstravaganza event on Saturday, April 1 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm on the SW Campus. We will start with the egg hunt, then have family prayer stations available. We hope you will join us!

Sunday, March 26, was an important day for a couple reasons! We were blessed to gather for one United Worship Service at 9:15 am. It was a blessing to have so many who call St. Andrew’s “home” together at one time to worship and enjoy the goodness of God. Following worship, with excellent attendance for a congregational meeting, the members of SAPC unanimously approved the election of the Pastor Nominating Committee. This was an important step in the process of SAPC calling its next installed Pastor/

Head of Staff. Please pray for the PNC as the team members begin to meet this month. Pray for the PNC to develop good rapport and trust with one another as they begin the important work of seeking the Lord’s leading together for St. Andrew’s.

NEW SERMON SERIES STARTING APRIL 16

Following Jesus is an act of resistance to our cultural push toward hurry, hustle, distraction and shallowness. Most of our greatest mistakes tend to come when we’re in a hurry. Maybe the life Jesus invites us to is to move more at the pace of grace. We are not anti-work, we are antihurry. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to walk in the way of love and one simply can not love in a hurry. Join us as we seek to slow down. We’ll lean into some practices and rhythms that help us live unhurried, so we can actually build up our life with God and others.
