Teacher Recruitment

Dear Saints Of Andrew:

THIS SUNDAY
August 27, 2006
Pastor Bruce: SUPERMAN: THE SERMON!
Music will include a Leon Adams arrangement of Superman Over The Decades and Greg W. singing “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.”

It was fun being up here last night. We had a great group out for the first choir practice of the new season, and the Bob Davis Open House was very well attended. Our new youth director even has his own e-address now. Since bdavis was already taken, he is bobdavis@standrewsomaha.net. On a related note, Nancy tells us: YOUTH PARENTS ADVISORY BOARD AND YOUTH COUNCIL ARE WELL STAFFED NOW. THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED.

Nancy and I look forward to inaugurating TRIVIA NIGHT at St. Andrew’s, Friday evening, Sept. 8. We’ll start at 7:00. Five bucks at the door will cover refreshments and other stuff. We’ll be dividing into teams. Some are recruiting teams, but if you show up by yourself, we’ll assign you to a team and it will be a great way to get to know some new people. There will ten categories, ranging from history to movies to music, with a Bible category as well. After each question is asked, team members confer, write a single answer on a sheet of paper. After each category, the answer sheets are collected. It will be helpful to know how many to plan for, so please sign up this Sunday or reply via return e-mail.

PASTOR CHARLOTTE asks: Prayers of sympathy for Nancy D. and her family, in the recent passing of her Aunt Wilma. Prayers for Matt K., who has returned to the hospital due to a drop in his sodium level – medications are working against each other (Gregg G.’s son-in-law). Prayers of joy for Marsha and Lance L., on the recent birth of a daughter, Melissa (friends of Shelly and Scott L.). Prayers for Bill E., ill with cellulitis (Marcia K.’s father).

I’m not a golfer, but I was watching some of the PGA action on Sunday afternoon. As Tiger Woods finished the front nine in fine fashion, a commentator said something to this effect: “He has accepted each shot and prepared himself for the next.” Wherever your latest shot at life has landed you--be in on the green, in a bunker, in the fairway, or way off in the trees--that shot has already been made. The important shot is the next one. At St. Andrew’s, we’d love to help you prepare for that next shot. Won’t you join us for worship and fellowship? This Sunday, the 27th, I’m in the pulpit with “SUPERMAN!” The sermon won’t be faster than a speeding bullet, but I like it will be powerful. Between now and then, try to shoot at least par, don’t be afraid to go for a birdie, and even should you get a triple-bogie, remember, the Lord loves you and so do we.

God bless
