Join us for a free concert at St. Andrew’s featuring Insuk Lyu & Johnny Nam on the organ, piano and violin. We will be taking up an offering to support our Mexico Missions trip and ask you to give as you feel called.

All are welcome!

Join us after church for an off-campus lunch! It’s a great way to meet new friends and get to know each other outside of church!

Join us for a weekly drop-in bible study at lunchtime each Wednesday through November 18th! There is no reading to do ahead of the sessions - just show up when you are available for 45 minutes of prayer, scripture, and discussion.

Half Truths: Discovering the Whole Truth in Familiar Christian Sayings

"Everything happens for a reason." "God won't give you more than you can handle." We've all heard these phrases, and many of us have said them, usually with the best of intentions. They sound like they come straight from Scripture. But do they?

This fall, join us for a five-week study of Half Truths by Adam Hamilton. Together we'll take a closer look at five well-known Christian sayings, find the grain of truth in each one, and hold them up against the life and teachings of Jesus to discover what they might be missing.

Week by week, we'll explore:

• Everything happens for a reason

• God helps those who help themselves

• God won't give you more than you can handle

• God said it, I believe it, that settles it

• Love the sinner, hate the sin

Whether you've leaned on these words in hard seasons or quietly wondered about them, you'll find honest conversation and a welcoming group here.

Two times to choose from:
Mondays at 6:30 pm, October 19 through November 16
Tuesdays at 10:30 am, October 20 through November 17

The book is available in print, large print, ebook, and audiobook. We have 15 available to purchase, or you can pick up a kindle version on Amazon or a used version from Thriftbooks.

“For all the saints, who from their labors rest…”

These opening words of the great All Saints hymn remind us of those who shaped and influenced our lives and now rest in the Lord. We all have those saints, and we carry them in our hearts and souls as we go forth to live each day. But it is also fitting to pause and remember, reflect, and appreciate, the gifts they left us with in these days.

All are invited to our annual celebration and to gather in the Memorial Garden after the close of worship to remember those who have been added in the last year and all who passed in earlier years. We will have cookies and refreshments and share a brief service of remembrance. You are welcome to browse the memorial walls and remember the people who shaped your life and give prayerful thanks.

Members of the St. Andrew’s Foundation Board will be present should you have any questions about you own after life care.

We are excited to host Amanda from Magnolia Sage Floral Events at St. Andrew's for a Women's Ministry event in the Fellowship Hall (refreshments starting at 9:30am)! Amanda will bring everything needed for a marvelous floral arrangement that each woman will take home at the end of the event.

If you'd like to donate toward the overage, you are welcome to do so on the RSVP form with our gratitude! If you have questions or wish to help with future Women's Ministry Events, email emily@sabts.org to help this new ministry bloom.
