New Director of Christian Education

By
Dear Friends,

Our Church Council is pleased to announce that Nicole Kruvczuk will be joining the staff of St. Andrew's as our new Director of Christian Education.  Nicole comes to us with a education background, teaching fourth grade at Redeemer Lutheran Elementary School in Philadelphia and through multiple volunteer positions during her time at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in King of Prussia  Since joining St. Andrew's, she has been involved with multiple musical groups and Christian Education programs. She has taught Sunday School for three years, has assisted with Vacation Bible School, and has also served on the Christian Education Committee.  Nicole's start date is October 1st.  Please join us in congratulating Nicole on her new role and supporting her as she begins her work to lead our Christian Education program.    
We are blessed to be back with our regular Saturday / Sunday Worship Schedule.  October will soon be upon us and with that month comes the start of our Confirmation program, youth events, Men's Breakfast, and our Annual Blessing of the Animals.   We continue to invite new participants to join us in Adult Education on Sunday mornings, our Shannondell Bible Studies, and  our Lunch Bunch Bible Study on Thursdays.  There are also several opportunities through  our Social Ministry and Outreach teams to make a real difference in the communities we serve.

Please pray for Nicole, our entire staff, and our many volunteers that through our hearts and hands and voices many would come to know and grow in Christ's amazing grace.  See you in church!

Peace,

Pastor Mueller

Opportunities for Growth

By
Dear Friends,
    There are several learning opportunities coming up in week ahead that I wanted keep on your radar. - "Aslan on the Move" :  This Sunday (downstairs in Jerusalem Room)  at 9:30 AM we gather together for a presentation / discussion based on Christian themes found in the C.S. Lewis classic, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."   This gathering will continue through November 24.  Anyone from high school students to senior citizens are welcome to attend.  Join us and be enriched in faith.  - "Lunch Bunch Bible Study" - We gather each Thursday at noontime in St. Andrew's Hall to look a little deeper at the assigned bible texts that will be proclaimed the upcoming Sunday.  We provide coffee and printed out texts.  You are free to bring Bibles and a bagged lunch if you wish.  People who rarely take part in Bible Study have become a part of this group and have found it very helpful in their walk of faith.

An Easter Prayer

By
Holy and Living God, You continue to confound  our expectations and surprise us with your redeeming power in our lives.  Come among us, risen Lord.  Reveal yourself to us that we may know with confidence that nothing in all creation, not even death, can separate us from your love.  In Jesus' name.  Amen. A word of thanks to all of you who offered your hearts and hands and voices to a deeply moving Holy Week and a joy filled celebration of the Resurrection.  It was exciting to see an increase in attendance at special services throughout Lent and Holy Week this year, especially among those who are newer to our faith community. Many hearts were touched and lives were lifted up through the celebrations of this past week. We are truly blessed. Continue to pray for those who were unable to be with us on Sunday, the sick, the struggling, the hospitalized, the homebound, and the dying.  Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world, especially those who …

Lord's Prayer

By
Dear Friends,

This Sunday in worship our Gospel lesson is Luke 11:1-13.  In my message, I will be focusing chiefly on this rather strange parable of Jesus.  However, this is also the text where on e of Jesus' disciples says, "Lord, teach us to pray" and Jesus introduces what would become known as the Lord's Prayer.  While this will not be a primary focus on Sunday, I thought I would share with you below a reflection by Christian writer Brian McClaren bringing fresh meaning to a prayer that has become so familiar that, unfortunately, it can become rote and uttered with little meaning or reflection.  I hope that you will find this helpful for your own time in prayer.  And who knows?  It may even show up sometime in a worship service.
A Spoken Version of the Lord’s Prayer
This rendering of the Lord’s prayer uses unfamiliar words and phrasing to help us actually hear its message rather than lapsing into an auto-pilot recitation. You can use it in public worship by having …
