Bible reading guide
For help with the struggles of life, there is no greater resource than your Bible. The Bible speaks to your need. However, knowing where to look is a challenge. For help, pick up the Bible reading guide in the atrium.

Five-minute family devotions
Getting in a habit of having devotions at home with your children is a challenge, but so worth the time and effort. There is nothing greater to give your children than opportunities to grow in their faith. Here is a new book to check out. God bless the time you spend with your family in his Word.

Impact
The ministry of Jesus did not end when he was nailed to the cross. His ministry continued with fascinating words spoken while being crucified. Listen to Professor Stephen Geiger from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary provide meaning behind these “final” words of Jesus. Click here for Impact, or find it where you listen to podcasts. Search “St. Andrew Impact.”

Building updates
St. Andrew, you are the proud owners of two new gym heating/cooling units. The old units exceeded their life expectancy by five years, so we’re grateful for that. The cost was $36,000. Mike Eberle and his team continue to wrap up the building addition. The final costs appear to be just under $3.1 million, over $100,000 under the authorized amount. Last week, key contractors did “owner training” and handed over the operating manuals to us. The punch list has a few more items (warranty items), and we are still waiting on a few permanent doors and hardware. No date has been given for their arrival and installation. This spring, Kraemer Brothers construction will do some minor grading to better direct runoff from the downspout to the retention pond.
