There was a whole lot going on at St. Andrew’s this past weekend. SNL drew 500 people to the building. A thousand more were here on Saturday morning for the Nebraska Methodist Nursing College graduation exercises. Sunday afternoon, The Ambassador Bell Choir had a delightful event in the Rotunda, while an Eagle Scout Honor Ceremony was going on in the sanctuary, celebrating the achievement of Reid R. And, oh yes, we had a wonderful weekend of worship.

BETH MOORE STUDIES OFFERED THIS SUMMER

A Woman’s Heart: God’s Dwelling Place will begin Wednesday, June 4^th at 9:30. Taken primarily from the book of Exodus, explore the construction of the Old Testament tabernacle, its role in God’s eternal plan, and how it applies to the lives of women today.

Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent will begin on June 4^th, at 7 p.m. This study focuses on Psalms 120-134 which were spoken by God’s people in the Old Testament during specific events. These Psalms hold great significance in revealing more about God and a personal relationship with Him. This study will be held at Deb Richey’s home. Call her at 650-5851 for directions.

Register for either of these classes by contacting Diana.

If, like me, you’re feeling kind of shaken by recent economic news, I invite you to find confidence in the scripture. The Bible does not presume prosperity; what the Bible presumes is grace sufficient to our needs. Take this passage, for instance:

Psalm 107:1-9: O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those he redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to an inhabited town; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress; he led them by a straight way, until they reached an inhabited town. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind. For he satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry he fills with good things.
