“For Self” (10:30 AM Blended)

Text: Luke 2:4-7 The story begins with Mary and Joseph getting ready for the birth of Jesus and not finding room at the inn. In the crowded busyness of our lives, do we turn away the Savior as well or can we learn to make room for the Prince of Peace in our lives- even when his presence makes demands of us?

“For Self” (9:00 AM Traditional)

Text: Luke 5:12-16 Our Lord sets an example for us even as we go about the business of caring for others: to go off to a lonely place to pray. Do we allow room in our lives for the quiet and self-care we need in order to be our best for those around us?

Love God, Love People | Love People… (9:00 AM Traditional)

Text: Luke 10:25-37 Our storytelling Savior gives us a parable that is packed with meaning and shows us the essence of Christian love. We focus today on how compassion for others can be the driving force that ultimately brings meaning and purpose into our own lives even as we touch others. How are to be “good Samaritans” in this time and place and how does St. Andrew’s story of mission and ministry intersect with our own?
