AV booth finishes 
Check out the new finishes in the AV booth! The permanent countertop and wood finishes were installed this week on Tuesday. Thanks to Dan Wasmer and Jared Dammann for helping to unhook and label ALL of the cords so the desk could be cleared and hooked back up correctly when it was finished.

Celebrate Recovery
“When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD; he brought me into a spacious place” (Psalm 118:5). The writer is saying the Lord brought him to recovery. If you or a loved one is feeling “hard pressed,” consider Celebrate Recovery. Celebrate Recovery returns to St. Andrew on Mondays at 6:30 PM beginning October 4. More information is found here. Questions about Celebrate Recovery can be sent here.

Impact
Jesus tells us to “go and make disciples.” That’s the short version. Listen to our St. Andrew podcast for the complete version of this great privilege and weighty responsibility. New Impact episodes are released every Monday. Past episodes are also available. Give Impact a listen and share this nurture resource with others.

St. Andrew giving thanks | Top 10 for MOM
We are again going to help Middleton Outreach Ministry this year as our way of giving thanks by providing their top 10 needed items. Labeled boxes will be in the atrium for you to fill. MOM’s volunteers will be collecting everything on November 8. The items they are requesting will be in next week’s Weekly. We are so blessed with gifts of love from God. This is just one way we can give back. If you have any questions about this ministry, please contact TLC member Karen Teske-Osborne.

Connections
St. Andrew is a relational church where we work at connectedness. Sometimes we take it for granted that we already know each other, but other times, things are happening in people’s lives that we don’t know we need to pray about. In the next few weeks, we will share why our connections are important as we re-introduce connection cards, discuss the importance of prayer requests, and listen to you and consider your comments along the way. Connections keep the body of Christ engaged, connected to our Lord, and committed to caring for each other and growing in Christ. Stay tuned . . .
