August worship services

Here are the Sunday morning worship services at St. Andrew's for August, 2007. All of the services begin at 10:00 am.

• August 5: Morning Prayer
• August 12: Holy Communion: While anticipating Jesus' return, we should neither become so preoccupied with his return that we neglect the day-to-day kingdom work nor become complacent about his return. Our goal is this: while we are waiting, keep on serving. --Father Peter Nissen
  
• August 19: Morning Prayer
• August 26: Holy Communion: Luke 13:10 - 17 talks about the healing of a woman who was bent over "double" with a back problem. Jesus calls us to empathy and caring for others who are different than we are. We can start by trying to understand others but it always must move to extending a helping hand, a kind word of encouragement or empathy to others, spending some time with a troubled or angry person. This can help a person who is "bent over double" stand up again, feel joy and hope again, and maybe join you for church. Have a great day. --Father Peter Nissen
