Befrienders

Dear Saints Of Andrew:

This is Pastor Bruce writing on Wednesday evening, August 16. There’s a whole lot of music going on in the sanctuary tonight, as people are preparing for this Sunday’s GREAT DAY OF MUSIC. In addition to offering songs of joy and praise for the sake of joy and praise, we’re also hoping to excite others to get involved in our music ministry this fall. I’m having fun this week, working on my sermon August 27. No, it’s not about a bird. No, not about a plane, either. It’s SUPERMAN, THE SERMON. And I hope you’ve got September 10 marked on your calendar, STEPPIN’ UP SUNDAY. In the spirit of the one for whom this congregation is named, we invite you to come and see what the Lord is doing in and through St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church. God bless, BRD

Does anybody out there have a CD with the original radio version of “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” by Ray Charles?

PSALM 111: Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, in the congregation. Great are the deeds of the LORD! They are studied by all who delight in them. His work is full of majesty and splendor, and his righteousness endures for ever. He makes his marvelous works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. He gives food to those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant. He has shown his people the power of his works in giving them the lands of the nations. The works of his hands are faithfulness and justice; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, because they are done in truth and equity. He sent redemption to his people; he commanded his covenant for ever; holy and awesome is his Name. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; those who act accordingly have a good understanding; his praise endures for ever.
