SUMMARY:Monday Evening Men's Group
DESCRIPTION:We generally meet on the 1st and 3rd Monday of the month. PLEASE reach out to Gary Spears at gspears012@msn.com or Bill McMonigal at bmcmonigal@comcast.net to confirm dates.\nWith so many places to go and things to do\, it is often hard to take time for yourself. We want to gather adult men together to share experiences and wisdom about life and being a good dad\, husband\, and Christian. The group uses various videos and readings to stimulate conversation and learning – and there’s NO homework. We provide men with networking and relationship-building opportunities\, giving one another a source of support\, laughter\, and a chance to share their faith.

SUMMARY:Queer Faith Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Queer Faith Alliance is a small group learning together about how we as individuals\, families\, and the church can be fully welcoming and inclusive to the LBGTQ+ community. It is the responsibility of the Church to affirm all people and celebrate orientations and gender expressions that have often been targeted. When we work in community to feel God’s all-embracing love\, we are stronger for it.\nFind support and encouragement while discussing current events\, reading articles and books\, and hearing guest speakers. Members of the group are open and accepting. Many are LGBTQ+ and/or have family members who have come out and are needing love and support in navigating their life’s circumstances.\nThis is a safe place to talk about our desires for acceptance and openly talk about how society in some places still stands in opposition to the people we care about. Together\, Queer Faith Alliance advocates for affirmation\, belonging\, and embrace for all of God’s beloved children within St. Andrew\, our community\, and the world.

SUMMARY:Early Risers Bible Study - Making Sense of the Bible
DESCRIPTION:Simon Peter–an ordinary fisherman who heard an extraordinary call. He left everything to follow his teacher and possessed a passion that would change the world. That’s one way to describe Peter. Here’s another: poor\, uneducated\, quick-tempered\, and full of doubts and fears. Doesn’t even sound like the same man.\nAnd that’s the point of Simon Peter\, a new book by Adam Hamilton. Peter was just an ordinary guy who heard and followed God’s extraordinary call. Discover how you\, too\, have special gifts\, talents\, and abilities that God can use to make a difference today.\nBooks will be available for purchase at the Front Desk soon.

SUMMARY:Women of the Word (WOW) -- AM
DESCRIPTION:A women’s Bible study of faith and fellowship. Each week includes large group lecture\, small group discussion and weekly homework assignments. Each small group includes both in person and virtual options. For beginners through advanced! Study materials need to be purchased by each participant. Scholarships are available.\nOur Winter/Spring study of The Chosen season 5 begins January 7.  The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while His disciples anticipate His crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—He turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened\, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last. With the accompanying study guide\, The Stronghold of the Chosen\, we’ll learn that Jesus is our safe place\, along with all the reasons we should run to and remain in Him when hard times come.

SUMMARY:Pastor's Book Study - The Tears of Things
DESCRIPTION:Join us beginning Thursday\, March 26\, as we read and discuss The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage by Richard Rohr\, a man considered to be a modern mystic.\nThis book is a good introduction into his work and fitting for this time. How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets\, revealing how some of the lesser read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today. \nBooks are available for purchase from the Front Desk for $15.
