| RECYCLING |
|
|
Cans - Every time you are ready to throw out that soda or other beverage can, remind yourself that you are throwing away money that could have gone to the Work Campers. Every aluminum can counts. You may drop off your collection in the old kitchen. We are collecting all the way through July. So please
Ink Cartridges - Reduce pollution, and raise funds. Most of us have inkjet printers at home or work. When you have an empty cartridge next time, do not throw it away-just bring it to St. Andrew's. We have a special recycle box in the Foyer of the Family Life Center. St. Andrew's is paid up to $4.00 for each cartridge. |

| UPDATED ST. ANDREW'S WEBSITE |
|
|
Friends,
We (thanks to Ed Woodward) are going to make our website better. The one thing that will really make it more inviting will be the addition of pictures. No names, just pictures. Most will be group pictures. If you do not want a picture with you or your family in it, please respond to me and we will not use any. If I do not hear back from you by 7/20, we will assume you are fine with being included in pictures.
Don't forget to take Flat Andy or your Andy gnome on your trips and send in electronic pictures.
Thanks,
Jim+

| THE PRAYER PATH |
|
 A Christ-centered experience
Open your eyes...open your ears...open your heart...encounter God with The Prayer Path, St. Andrew's will create our own multimedia labyrinth.
Participants will "journey" through the labyrinth guided by a CD that includes a devotional narration set against a worshipful music backdrop. Eleven stations on the journey will lead participants to "let go" of busyness, hurt and distractions that can spoil relationships, "center" their lives on God and spend time with him, and reach out to the world with Christ's love.
Now, for the best part, The Youth of St. Andrew's will be hosting the Prayer Path here at the church on Sunday, July 13th from 9:00 - 10:15 and 12:00 - 1:15. |
| A HISTORY OF GOD DVD CLASS |
|
|
9:15 am, Room 102 B
8/3/08 and 8/10/08
He is at the center of some of the most critical and controversial questions of all time.
In this illuminating program based on theologian Karen Armstrong's bestselling book, take a fascinating look at the countless ways human beings have experienced the idea of god throughout the ages: from the days before Abraham to today. Explore the evolution from the practice of sacrificial paganism to a more serene and compassionate religious way of life. Interviews with representatives from today's key monotheistic religions reveal how human beings have come to worship one supreme being, while prominent religious scholars contemplate how the traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have influenced one another and how their individual histories overlap.
A History of God plays an investigative role in humankind's timeless and unrelenting struggle for faith, comfort, and understanding.
