Call meeting
Westside Christian School needs to fill some classrooms with teachers next year. With that in mind, there will be a call meeting on Thursday, November 13, 2025, at 5:30 PM in room 110. Hope to see you there!

Pastor call meeting November 30
Our next call meeting will be Sunday, November 30, at 12:00 PM. After discussion of the role and of the candidates provided by District President Mike Jensen, the voters of St. Andrew will choose one to whom we will extend a call. While voters are male communicant members, all are invited to participate in the discussion about the ministry needs of St. Andrew and how the candidates might serve them.

Construction update
Masonry work will begin this week on the exterior of the building and continue for the next few weeks. Keep an eye on the top of the northwest corner of the new building to start seeing the bricks being laid. Inside the new building, underground work will be completed this week, and the concrete slab will be poured next week. You may have noticed some of the ceiling in the current atrium is missing. Many connections will need to run through those openings from the current building to the new building, so that will remain open for a while.

A Place of Peace giving
Giving can be set up like other offerings. Go to “Give” at the website, and you can set up a one-time or recurring gift. Choose “A Place of Peace” as the “Fund.” If using a check, please put “A Place of Peace” in the memo line. If using St. Andrew offering envelopes, use the designation “Ministry Expansion.”

Even if you didn’t make a formal pledge, you can still give. Every bit helps, as St. Andrew will still carry some debt, and the less debt, the more ministry.

Last weekend, St. Andrew observed milestones of service for five called workers:

• Naomi Laabs, 20 years, 12 as Minister of Worship at St. Andrew
• Tammy Mielke, 15 years, 4 as Westside Christian School teacher
• Jessica Bohl, 10 years, 2 as Westside Christian School teacher
• Clinton Kreuziger, 10 years, 3 as Pastor for Service & Outreach at St. Andrew
• Jack Murphy, 5 years as Westside Christian School teacher

These individuals have faithfully served in the ministry of the gospel. May God bless their continued ministry to us and our community.
