Grow in Grace
The Bible is clear that there are two genders. Yet we live in a world of gender confusion. Clear. Confusion. Pastor Greg Lyon, a teacher of God’s Word at Wisconsin Lutheran College, will be here to teach us what Scripture says about gender and how Christians can live and love among this confusion. Childcare will be provided. To help us prepare for childcare, please sign up by August 14.

• Livestream Video techs make live streaming possible each week by adjusting cameras and online microphones.
• Audio techs adjust the microphone levels in the sanctuary and mix the music for our livestream.
• Slide techs make it possible to worship from the screens as they advance the slides throughout worship.

Interested in learning more or shadowing in one of these areas? Contact Minister of Worship Naomi Laabs or Pastor Clinton.

Milestones
We thank our Lord Jesus for the miracle of baptism, which the Holy Spirit worked in twin boys on Sunday as Levi Brandon Rauch and Carson David Rauch were brought into the kingdom of God. Continue to pray for these young boys and for their parents Brandon and Darci, that the whole family might continue to grow in faith and serve the Lord.

Service role | Plugged into Jesus team
This children’s ministry for 4K – grade 5 uses God’s powerful and precious Word to lead young children to learn more about our Savior, Jesus.

Thank you, childcare providers
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me.” St. Andrew is a haven for many young families because of how you welcome and involve children and their families. This includes providing childcare for various events, allowing parents of young children to participate in different ministries. Those who make those ministries possible by caring for children are highly appreciated. Thank you for your service.

Note of gratitude
Dear St. Andrew Lutheran Church,

I am writing to thank you for supporting the Care Net mission again! Your donation of the hand-made blankets warms our hearts as they warm the babies in our maternity home!

Sincerely,
Taylor the mobile clinic driver and everyone here at Care Net!

Some of the ladies of St. Andrew have donated blankets to Care Net, an organization dedicated to helping women and men facing an unexpected pregnancy.

Monthly Mission Partner
Our August Mission Partner is The Love of Christ Ministry. This is St. Andrew’s compassion ministry to the community. It is one way we help those in physical need. We show the love of Christ by helping not out of obligation, but out of thanksgiving for Christ’s love. We embrace the outstanding debt to love.
