If you got word today that you only had 30 days to live, how would your life change? LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING is a 30-day church-wide campaign, inspired by the Grammy award-winning song recorded by Tim McGraw. It combines this song that touches our deepest longing for meaning, with the timeless truths of God’s Word in a learning experience for the whole church. Now the song has become a journey. That journey is coming to St. Andrew’s in June.

How can you become involved with this campaign?

• Volunteer to serve as a Small Group Host.
• Sign up to be part of one of the Small Groups.
• Attend the 5 weekend worship services during June to hear the messages shared by Pastors Nancy and Bruce.
• Do the daily reading which will connect you to God’s Word and give you something to think about throughout the day.

Contact Diana F. to sign up for a small group, or for more information

From BOB D.:

I hope all the Moms had a wonderful Mother’s Day and enjoyed their roses. Thank you for supporting youth ministries by buying a rose.

Youth ministry is in need of SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS. I am looking for teachers who can teach 3 Sundays for the summer (they can be any combination of Sundays). This is a real short term commitment and you may find out that teaching our youth is something you really enjoying doing (worship + 1)! Please e-mail me the Sunday’s you would be able to teach and if it is only 1 or 2 then that is okay. We do not have Sunday school on the second Sunday of each month.

Matthew 16:1-3: “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.”
