First: Putting God First in Living and Giving
Greetings, St. Andrew family!
Over the past few months, our congregation has experienced big change, bidding a heartfelt farewell to Pastor Chris Danielson and Carolyn Danielson and warmly welcoming Michelle and me into the life of St. Andrew.
Change is a given in our lives, even a source of renewal and growth, yet some things are constant, including St. Andrew’s call to be about the work of Jesus Christ in our community and world. As we eagerly continue and expand the ministries of the church, we are reminded that financial support is vital to carrying out those ministries.
Through our in-person and online worship—including this year’s launch of a solely online church campus—we share the Good News and experience the fellowship and joy of the body of Christ. Programming for children, youth, and adults (Sunday school, Midweek Connection, Oasis, and more) helps us grow and commit in our faith journeys. Through outreach like In-Touch Ministries and our Kairos prison ministry, and by supporting organizations like Lafayette Transitional Housing, Bashor Home, Africa University, and the United Methodist Committee on Relief, we reach out to neighbors near and far in God’s love.
You are the hands and feet of Jesus—and your generous and faithful gifts equip all of us, together, to fulfill our call. Please review the commitment form below for 2023 and prayerfully consider how you might contribute financially. We can’t wait to see where God leads us in this new chapter in St. Andrew’s story!
If you have any questions or would like to discuss, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Blessings to you!
Pastor Brian Cook
