This Week
But God remembered Noah
Have you ever felt as though God had forgotten you? Maybe a relationship wasn’t working out as you had planned. Maybe your health took a sudden turn for the worse. Maybe the job you thought you’d keep for a long time is going away. God, where are you? The opening words of Genesis 8 are not only written for you, they’re written about you. This weekend, let the Spirit teach you what it means that God remembers you. Gather with other saints to remember him, receive his grace, and find comfort in his truth. We’ll gather at 7:00 PM on Thursday and at 8:00 and 10:30 AM on Sunday.

Worship
Resources and opportunities for you to worship
Testimonies of gratitude
God’s grace and his blessings are new every day. If you find yourself swept away with gratitude, consider being video interviewed for our Thanksgiving worship services. It won’t take long, and it doesn’t have to be scripted. Pastor Hunter will simply sit with you and have a conversation about gratitude and your reasons for it. If you’re interested, send a note to [email protected], or write it on your Connection Card. We’ll follow up and schedule a time that works for you.
Adult choir in October
Blend your voice with others to sing God’s praise. We’ll rehearse at 7 PM on Wednesdays in the Soul Café to sing for worship on:
- Sunday, November 3 (rehearsals will be October 16, 23, & 30).
- Sunday, December 15 (rehearsals will be December 4 & 11).
High school-aged and older are welcome to attend. Interested in participating? Email Minister of Worship Naomi Laabs.
Worship check-in
If you worship on-site, please fill out the Connection Card attached to your worship folder. Online worshipers, please continue to check in here.

Nurture
Ways to be connected to Jesus throughout the week in your personal life and with others
A Morning for Your Marriage
An all-new A Morning for Your Marriage is October 19 from 9:00 – 11:00 at St. Andrew. Register here by October 13. Childcare will be provided.
One-year Bible reading
Read through the Bible in one year with your St. Andrew family. Find more details here. When you are ready to sign up, click here. You can also sign up in the atrium. Register by October 13.
Impact podcast
In chapter 2 of Ruth, we see generous kindness from Boaz toward Ruth. That is where God hides. When you receive kindness, realize that God is behind that. Dr. Mark Paustian, from Martin Luther College, explains that and more as we continue this beautiful story of God’s love. You can listen to Impact here or by searching for “Kjenstad Impact” wherever you listen to podcasts.
