Nancy has a sermon for Labor Day Weekend: “YOU’RE FIRED!”

Football is such a year-round conversation in Nebraska, it seems there ought to be some kind of state-wide drum roll when the season actually starts.

Speaking of sports: Cubs fans, I thoroughly expect your team to win the National League Central, but I hope my wounded, downtrodden Cardinals can keep things interesting. I’m shocked the birds-on-the-bat are still in the hunt.

Our next PIZZA WITH THE PASTORS (a low-to-no pressure event designed for people interested in membership at St. Andrew’s) is scheduled for SEPTEMBER 9, 5:00-6:30, not June, as stated in our most recent A-Mail. I must have had brain lock. Sign up in the Rotunda, so we’ll know how much pizza to order.

Director of Youth Ministries BOB D. writes: Steppin’ up Sunday was a great success! We had 79 youth and 9 adult Sunday school teachers present at Sunday school. It was a great site to see and hear our youth praise band begin Sunday school. We have 16 youth involved in the praise band this year. We will continue to meet in the Family Life Center for Sunday school every Sunday except the 2nd Sunday of the month. We will be worshiping in the sanctuary the 2nd Sunday of each month. I will post a sign in the Rotunda as a reminder. ATTENTION PARENTS OF SENIOR HIGH YOUTH! I have registered for next year’s “Youth Works” mission trip. We are traveling to Rosebud Reservation located in South Dakota. I have reserved 35 spots (we can add to this number if there is room available). The cost of the Youth Works portion of the trip will be $258.00 per youth. I need a $100 deposit from each youth planning on attending as I have to send in our group deposit by September 10. I will have a sign up sheet on the youth table located in the Rotunda or you can e-mail me to sign up. Please make checks out to St Andrews. Secure your spot today as the trip we be amazing!

Deuteronomy 14:22-23, Set apart a tithe of all the yield of your seed that is brought in yearly from the field. In the presence of the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose as a dwelling for his name, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, your wine, and your oil, as well as the firstlings of your herd and flock, so that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
