Our next PIZZA WITH THE PASTORS, an event designed for people exploring membership at St. Andrew’s, is scheduled for Sunday evening, October 14, 5:00-6:30. The pastors and members of the program staff will be there. If you’d been with us in September, you would have met great people like the Giffords and Toths as well. We’ll hope to have a great group again in October. Sign up via return e-mail or at the Hospitality Desk in the Rotunda.

I have always admired Ken Burns’ work, most notably, “The Civil War.” His new documentary “The War”—as in WWII—is an amazing achievement. Last night’s narrative of the 1943 bombing missions over Germany was downright breathtaking. It’s hard to fathom the courage of men who would climb into a ball turret.

Ephesians 4:1-6, “I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.
