CALLING ALL RUNNERS AND WALKERS– we know you’re out there!
We’ve had a tremendous response to our announcement about the Journey to Bethlehem challenge. Incase you missed our previous information: the Health Ministry leadership team is organizing a group that will attempt to cumulatively run, walk, bike, swim, and/or otherwise move their bodies a total of 6400+ miles (the distance between Omaha and Bethlehem) between October 1 and December 24. Participating in this challenge does not require anything other than registering, signing a waiver form, and sending a weekly email to report your mileage for the week – no meetings to attend! Several other Omaha – area churches will also be participating. As great as the response has been, we would love to have even more people participate. There are lots of dedicated runners and walkers at St. Andrew’s … and we know who you are! ... please consider joining the team and helping us accomplish our worthy goal! Please email Jeff. Health Ministries will have a table in the Rotunda on Sunday to answer questions, register people and collect waiver forms.

From MARGIE W.: Children’s Ministries is in need of 2-3 volunteers to be at the Registration Desks at the 10:45 services. Our volunteers rotate every other month; one upstairs and one downstairs. The individual mans the registration desk, answers questions and greets people, picks up attendance and offering from the Sunday School teachers, assists teachers withw any last minute needs and keeps an eye on traffic through the Sunday School areas for the safety of the children.
If you could help out every other month for an hour each Sunday, please contact Margie at ext. 14.

THE ANNUAL ST. ANDREW’S DINNER/DANCE AUCTION IS SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, AT THE CHAMPIONS CLUB. TICKETS ARE ON SALE IN THE ROTUNDA. Last year, your editor donated a CD compilation: THE ONE HUNDRED GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME (If You Count 1960 As The Beginning Of Time). This year, I’m scouring Used Book Stores for vintage editions of a small library: TEN MUST-READ BOOKS to be offered at auction. Part of the fun of this event is the creativity people bring to their auction donations.

This is the place where we usually have Pastor Charlotte asking prayer for others, but Charlotte herself took a fall at the church on Wednesday evening. As I understand it, she fractured a bone in her upper left arm. We did get an e-message from Judy F. who is in Germany with her husband Wayne visiting family. Judy was telling us that Wayne’s mother has passed away in Seattle.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9, “Hear O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
