Nancy preaching: LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING

*

Nancy tells me we have something like 110 people registered for the LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING small groups. That’s pretty amazing. If you want to plug in, e-mail either Nancy or Diana.

I was gratified by the fine turnout for worship on Memorial Weekend. If you weren’t with us, I invite you to take a look at EVERYTHING WE HAD, posted on the web site: standrewsomaha.net. Click on SERMONS. I’ve got a bookend message planned for June 7 & 8 titled, 1968. We read in the first chapter of Ecclesiastes: “A generation goes and a generation comes…What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.” I am fascinated at how events from forty years ago seem to be coming around again in the year of our Lord 2008.

Nancy and I are just back from lunch at Tanner’s. Wednesday is the roast beef special, perfect for an early-winter day like today.

*

We congratulate David F. and Stacy W. on their wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony, held in the sanctuary on Saturday, Nancy officiating.

*

Steve G.’ father, Ray, has passed away in Pensacola, Florida. We extend our sympathy to Steve and his family.

GET YOUR BACKSTAGE PASS!
Our 2008 Auction Dinner Dance will be our biggest bash of the year, and we’re looking for behind-the-scenes crewmembers. The event takes place Friday, October 10th — but there’s plenty to do before then. Whether you’ve helped in the past or this is new to you, it’s a great way to get involved, make friends and have fun. You can help with decorations, check-in, checkout, auction items, promotions and more. Contact Todd and Jamie S. by Sunday, June 1st — and tell them your name and how you’d like to help (or let them plug you in where you’re needed most). Your first “Crew Meeting” will be in early June.

Psalm 105:1-3

O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples. Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wonderful works. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
