A Minister asked the church caretaker to put a clock at the back of the sanctuary so he could keep an eye on the time while preaching - to which the caretaker replied:  ‘Clock? You need a calendar!!’
It is the beginning of a new year - a time of reflection - a brief look at the past, a contemplation of the future and a focus on the present.  What time or times are we living in?  What does Ecclesiastes have to say about time?  What does Jesus have to say about how we spend our time?   Time waits for no one - so see you Sunday at 10:00 am.  ~ Rev. Fiona Swanson

To prepare for Sunday’s worship, you can read: 
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-13; Matthew 25: 31 - 46

Special thanks as well to our AV team, who did double/triple/multiple duty over the season.  Thank you David Kurtz, Craig Murray, Tom Spoering, and Inge Murray for your work on the sound board and camera.  Truly, we couldn’t have done it without you!
And for all those unnamed who helped with greeting, ushering, and reading - and helped St. Andrew’s share the good news this Christmas season - please know you are appreciated! 
We were truly blessed over the Christmas season, and ask God’s continued blessing to each and every person we love and care for as we head into the new year of 2022.

Our first night back will be Friday, January 7th 2022, and we will be starting a video series called Nooma, by Steve Bell. We meet every Friday from 7-9! We can’t wait to dive in deep and see how this video series can relate to our own lives. Once the study and discussion portion of the evening has concluded, be prepared for some big church games! Bring your running shoes and your energy as we want to hit the ground running in the New Year. Those of you 12 and up are welcome to come, and bring your friends too! The more the merrier! We meet upstairs in the upper room, so come in the back door (by the mailboxes) and make sure to wear a mask. Your leaders are so excited to see you all very soon!  If you have any questions, please email Lauren Cole at laurenrosecole4@gmail.com
