Vacation Bible School Celebration Sunday was a huge success. Cami reports we had 1,236 people in the various worship services. Of course, the huge chunk of those were in the 9:15 service. I appreciated those of you who moved down toward the front at 10:45. It really does help with the dynamics of that service in the summertime.

I would also add, we had a terrific turnout for Sunday evening’s PIZZA WITH THE PASTORS. Our next PWP is scheduled for the second Sunday in August—that’s the 12th--5:00-6:30. This event is designed for people interesting in learning more about St. Andrew’s. Each session includes an invitation to membership. Sign up for the next PWP at the Hospitality Desk in the Rotunda or via return e-mail.

I had a rough night last night. Our possessed sump pump went to screeching in the wee hours of the morning. I did what I know to do with a sump pump, but every time I thought I was going to get back to sleep, the screeching started again. Now that night has turned to day, I get to thinking of some of our readers, who may have had babies crying through the night, or couldn’t sleep because of family issues, or financial worries. I can call a fix-it man to work on this sump pump, whatever keeps you up at night may be harder to fix. Have you tried prayer? It can be a very present help in time of anxiety. For that matter, don’t be bashful about talking to someone at the church. We may not be able to fix it, but perhaps we can help you cope.

PSALM 119:73-77, “Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments. Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your word. I know, O Lord, that your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness you have humbled me. Let your steadfast love become my comfort according to your promise to your servant. Let your mercy come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.”
