Save the date for Koiné
We all tend to look ahead to summer during these long winter months. As you make your summer plans, mark your calendars for Sunday, July 23. The worship band Koiné, who is celebrating 20 years of making music in 2023, is coming to St. Andrew as part of their anniversary tour. Koiné will serve as the music team for both Sunday services, and then they will put on an afternoon concert that will include music from some of St. Andrew’s finest. It will be a fun day you won’t want to miss! Watch for more details.

St. Andrew library
There are lots of books for adults and children in the St. Andrew library, located in the Soul Café. Check out the wide selection, including the new arrivals. Find a book for your child to take home and read as a devotion for the family. Find a book to help you grow in your relationship with the Lord and in your understanding of his Word. Find one that uses God’s Word to help you get through a challenging time. To check out a book, find the green binder on the black cart. God will bless all the ways you nurture the precious faith he has given you.

St. Andrew Sports Camp
After a good four-year run with Science Camp, St. Andrew is making a change. We will be offering a sports camp this summer and a fine arts camp in 2024. Of course, the foundation of these camps will be the Word of God. Mark your calendar for St. Andrew Sports Camp July 10 – 13. Watch for more details this spring!

Impact
The Lord’s Prayer has been treasured by God’s people of every generation. On this week’s podcast, St. Andrew Pastor Clinton Kreuziger will help us better understand the meaning behind those treasured words. You may never think of the Lord’s Prayer the same way again! You can find our St. Andrew podcast Impact here or wherever you listen to podcasts by searching “Kjenstad Impact.”

PowerHour
Miskigarten, Plugged into Jesus, and Spark are all thriving with children, and we want your child involved! All who attend grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. These important ministries also lay a foundation for developing lives of faithful service to our gracious Lord. Musikgarten and Plugged into Jesus welcome children beginning at 9:20 AM, and Spark begins at 9:25 AM. This week’s Plugged into Jesus/Spark lesson is about God’s Old Testament people sent into exile.

FUEL
Come for donuts, fun, and great discussion about heaven and hell. We will talk about what we know and what we wonder about. FUEL meets in room 114 at 9:25 AM. Did someone say donuts?

Have an eye for appearance?
Has God given you an eye for interior design and function? You could put that to use in ministry by being part of an interior team—a small group to evaluate and prioritize needs in the building and either seek volunteers or hire services to get them done.

Has God given you an eye for a building’s exterior design and function? You could put that to use in ministry by being part of an exterior team—a small group to evaluate and prioritize needs outside the building and either seek volunteers or hire services to get them done. Neither group is intended to be the “doers,” but the needed planners. If you’re interested in a description of the work, send a message to [email protected].

2023 summer Mission Trips
Just outside Houston is Sienna, Texas. On the outskirts of Tampa, Florida is Wesley Chapel. Along the Big Sioux River near Sioux Falls lies Brandon, South Dakota. Between and around two lakes is the capital of Wisconsin. These locations have something in common: you have an opportunity to go. Grow in faith, encourage others, and share the love of Jesus through various acts of service by participating in one of these Mission Trips. Find the details and apply at the St. Andrew website.

Lenten meals: setup, service, and cleanup
There are still some opportunities for you or your Growth Group to serve by assisting with prep, setup, service, and cleanup. If you are interested, contact Pastor Clinton.

Monthly Mission Partner
