A More Just World -- Social Justice Group
2026-06-03 18:30 - 19:30 UTC | St. Andrew Lutheran Church
When it comes to matters of race in our community, St. Andrew is dedicated to helping create a more just world for all people through listening, learning, growing, and acting differently. Monthly meetings provide fellowship for people wanting to dedicate themselves to this process on an ongoing basis. Join us for conversation and learning opportunities. We discuss different cultures, race, equity, and healing through the use of readings, videos and other media as we rally around the cause to create a more just world for all. With the help of Pastor Kelly Chatman, we are partnering with Zion Baptist Church and Zion’s Pastor, Brian Herron. Pastor Kelly Chatman has been instrumental in helping St. Andrew and A More Just World. These partnerships help churches like St. Andrew create and implement plans of understanding and action, furthering racial justice and healing.

Loom Knitting Class and Gathering
2026-06-03 12:30 - 14:00 | St. Andrew Lutheran Church
Those with no loom knitting experience along with experienced loom knitters are invited to gather for an easy-to-learn hat knitting class and connect with others from St. Andrew.
Beginner knitters will be provided the loom, tools, yarn, and instructions to knit a hat that will be donated to charity. Beginners will complete the brim of a hat, and will knit the balance of the hat on their own at home. At the next gathering you will remove the hat from the loom, cinch it closed, make and attach a pompom.
Advanced knitters may bring their own loom and yarn or use those available in class. Advanced knitters may have the opportunity to learn a new stitch or pattern.
All knitters will enjoy sharing tips, tricks, and challenges of loom knitting.

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.
And 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.
Books will be available for purchase at the Front Desk soon.
