Glad All Over

The Natalie Grant concert was a huge success. We had 800 people in the room. Natalie and her band gave a rousing performance that touched hearts. Many thanks to Craig Bence and his incredible group of volunteers. Staff-members Steve Groves and Mandy Barkhaus gave invaluable support. I heard a guesstimate that maybe 60% of those in attendance were not part of the St. Andrew's family. I am confident that persons from the community experienced this church as a place of RADICAL HOSPITALITY. What a great event.

ISAIAH 43:1-3, "But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior."
