Upcoming Sermon Series
Everybody, Everywhere
November 10, 17 and 24
There’s an old church hymn that says, “The church is not a building, the church is not a steeple, the church is not a resting place, the church is a people.” That statement is truer today than ever before. St. Andrew’s mission is reaching thousands of people near and far each week, both in-person and online, through our satellite communities, outreach ministries, educational opportunities, and weekly worship offerings. Our welcome is wide. Our table is long. And our reach includes everybody, everywhere.
This three-part stewardship series will focus on the ways all of us, regardless of who we are, where we live, or how we connect with each other, can share a common vision for a life of generosity grounded in three world-changing biblical principles: that in God’s economy, even a little can be a lot; that a meaningful life is more than the edifices we build; and that our devotion to God’s aims transcends all other worldly commitments.
By embracing these three principles, everybody everywhere can live generous, purposeful, and God-shaped lives that bring more love, justice, and community to the world.
