Growing Life Together with God

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church
LinX Email for March 1, 2023
Sunday, March 5, 2023: Called to be Reborn

Sunday, March 5, 2023: Called to be Reborn

Rev. Geoffrey

In “Tangled Up in Blue,” Bob Dylan wrote, “And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin’ coal; Pourin’ off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you.” We encounter the same urgency and purpose as we listen in on the conversation between Nicodemus and  Jesus. God is calling us to be reborn in faith. Lent invites us into God’s banqueting hall—here and now, not in some future time and place. Imagine that!

Grateful/Thankful/Blessed - What difference does a year make?

We are so grateful for each person who worked to make this community of faith a welcoming space, an affirming space; to make the communities and world around us better each time we ‘touched’ it - with our words, our actions, our financial resources, our presence.  Our 2022 Annual Report reflects many of the ways we shared community together.
