FROM PAM F.: Anyone interested in singing with the St. Andrew Singers this Sunday (Memorial Day weekend), please come to rehearsal tonight at 7 p.m. Several of our regular members will be out of town and we would love to have any who have thought about joining choir sing with us tonight and Sunday. Also, those of you who do not want a weekly commitment are invited to sing. We will be singing an arrangement of, "America, the Beautiful". If you have questions, please contact Pam.

Also, for anyone who has sung with the choir in the past, please check at home for any music that may belong to the church. Please bring it to church and have it put in Pam's mailbox. Thanks!

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 crew members. 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.

We missed a week in our examination of the Gallup ME25 Survey Results.

I think we’re at number 9: THE OTHER MEMBERS OF MY CHURCH ARE COMMITTED TO MY SPIRITUAL GROWTH. On the 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree) Point Scale, St. Andrew’s came in at 3.99, as compared to the Gallup Mean (Average) score of 3.81. If you’re looking for other members of the church who are committed to your spiritual growth, try this:

Live Like You Were Dying

If you got word today that you only had 30 days to live, how would your life change? How would God want you to live your last month? How would it impact your priorities? Would you prepare for eternity? What would you do that you’ve never done before?

Live Like You Were Dying is a 30-day church-wide campaign, inspired by the Grammy award-winning song recorded by Tim McGraw. Now the song has become a journey. That journey is coming to St. Andrew’s in June. It is meant to be experienced at 3 levels: individual, group, and worship.

• Do the daily reading and Bible study
• Join a Small Group that will meet weekly
• Attend the 5 weekend worship services to hear the messages based on this theme

Check out the days and times of the Small Groups on Adult tab of the St. Andrew’s webpage www.standrewsomaha.net. Contact Diana F. for more information or to sign up to be in a small group.

I Samuel 1:19-25

The lament of David: Your glory, O Israel, lies slain upon your high places! How the mighty have fallen! Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon; or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice, the daughters of the uncircumcised will exult. You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you, nor bounteous fields! For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, anointed no more. From the blood of the stain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, nor the sword of Saul return empty. Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely! In life and in death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with crimson, and in luxury, who put ornaments of gold on your apparel. How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle!
