Gratitude: Changing Lives Through Generosity
Posted on October 24, 2011
What defines your life? Have you said thank you to God for all of the blessings you received this week? Many of us forget to live with gratitude each day. This year St. Andrew is asking each of our members to be generous with their time, their talents, and their financial support for the coming year. Our outreach programs all have needs and our youth programs continue to grow. Out Music Ministry remains stellar. And, each of these programs needs your financial support. A generous heart can give freely and be thankful for each day’s blessings. We want that for you, too! The Bible promises both God’s blessings and joy for those who choose to live generously. During today’s service, we will encourage each of you to change your life and be in prayer about how you can support St. Andrew in this coming year. Your estimate of giving for the coming year is important as we plan for 2012. This week, you will be receiving an estimate of giving commitment card in the mail. On a practical level, we ask our members to turn in estimate of giving cards each year so that our Finance Committee is able to set an accurate ministry budget for the coming year. This allows us to make the most of every dollar given to the church. The commitment card is an opportunity for you to spend time in prayer and reflection, considering how generous your offering to God can be in the coming year. You can find the commitment card below. Please fill it out and submit it to the Accounting Office or via email. You can also pledge online.

Connecting with God, Yourself and Others
January 8–February 19
A caring church community needs the gifts of its members and constituents in order to flourish. On seven Sundays in January and February, Harvey Martz, Cindy Bates and Dale Fredrickson will be preaching on, and asking the St. Andrew community to discern, the best ways to identify our gifts skills and passions, and to invite each other to connect our gifts to service. Your gift of yourself is essential to the life and mission of St. Andrew church! Gifts must be discerned, affirmed, and shared and used in service to others. Thus the community becomes what it professes to be—a people noted for their love, generosity, and cooperation. Through this process you will deepen your relationship with God.
