Growing Life Together with God

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church
LinX Email for January 25, 2023
Sunday, Jan 29 - Seeing the World Right Side Up

Sunday, Jan 29 - Seeing the World Right Side Up

Rev. Peter

This Sunday we will explore the Beatitudes: some of the most beloved and confounding verses in the New Testament. The theologian Stanley Hauerwas asks: “The most interesting question about the Sermon on the Mount is not, Is this really a practical way to live in the world? but rather, Is this really the way the world is?”  We will explore the first portion of Jesus’ beloved sermon, to reflect on how we see the world.

Overwhelmed by St. Andrew’s kindness ~ very thankful couple

Hi St. Andrews.  Here is an update on the Nigerian family.  Chiamaka and Chisolm Emenyonu would like to thank you for your generosity. They are overwhelmed by your kindness and very thankful.
Their PRIORITY NEED is for a washer/dryer (and some strong men to carry them up 2 flights of stairs).
