Sunday, August 14 - Growing in Faith: “For the Sake of Joy”We encountered the word “joy” last week when we were reminded that joy is what we are called to as people of faith. We encounter the same word again today: Jesus looks ahead beyond his suffering and death and anticipates the joy that will come. Faith gives us courage to act and grounds our lives with purpose. Faith helps us find strength when we feel weak. Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, helps us run with perseverance the race that is set before us. |

We have so many people on our teams who go ‘above and beyond’... and they do NOT go unnoticed. Thanks to this team for helping us stay connected to each other and St. Andrew’s!! |

Can St. Andrew’s come out and play??Many of you may drive past this playground on your way to church (especially if you don’t want to be late because of the train)! It is right off Southland, past the City Yard. I have been chairing the committee to rebuild it and the build is finally happening!! August 18th and 19th are the dates for our playground build, and we are looking for volunteers to help build it on August 19th from 8:15-4:15. We also need donations of food or money for 2 snacks and lunch for 18 people, as well as some help with set up and take down. If you would like to make a donation of money, please write "South Haddon Road Playground" on your envelope, or mention what it is for if you reach out to the Treasurer. If anyone can help out, please let me know. Thanks! |
