CROSS CURRENTS SEPTEMBER | VOL. 2022 | ISSUE 8
FROM PASTOR PETE September greetings to you, St. Andrew’s Family! Our Congregational Mission Study Team (CMST) is grateful for the participation of so many who completed the Congregational Survey last month. As the team digests all the data, they are inviting the congregation to provide additional input for the mission study process. You are invited to attend one of six inperson conversation gatherings to be held in September. This is from the team:
LISTENING AND REFLECTING SESSIONS
Come share your thoughts about the search for our next senior pastor. We hope you will consider participating in one of the Listening and Reflecting Sessions scheduled in September. For your convenience, there are six sessions scheduled over three Sundays. Members of the CMST will facilitate two different formats. Listening Groups will be structured conversations centered around three questions: What brought you to St. Andrew’s? What keeps you at St. Andrew’s? What would attract new people to St. Andrew’s? Carousel Brainstorming Sessions will facilitate individual brainstorming, small group discussion, and whole-group reflection. We look forward to your participation. Questions? Contact Kevin Oxnam at kevinoxnam@gmail.com. No registration is needed, and you can attend one or more. Coffee and water will be available. All sessions will be held on the NE Campus in the Alpha Room.
We begin a new sermon series in September, based on Hebrews 11, called “By Faith.” In this series, we will focus on the definition of faith, especially as exemplified in the lives of Biblical characters who are an enduring witness to all who trust in God today. Please plan to join us in worship as we all together remember these heroes of the faith, also known as the “Faith Hall of Fame,” and reflect on what it looked like for them (and for us) to have “confidence in what we hope for and assurance of what we do not see?” Counting It All Joy, Pastor Pete Interim Pastor / Head of Staff
