Events at St. Andrew
Annual Meeting Announcement
It’s that time of year again! The annual meeting of St. Andrew Lutheran Church will be held on Tuesday, June 17, at 6:30pm in Fellowship Hall.
Per our constitution, ten percent of voting members are required to constitute a quorum. As such, you are asked to attend this meeting in-person or online. This meeting serves as a vital time for you to engage in the leadership of this parish, elect people to Council, hear reports about the work of various ministries of this church over the last year, and learn about the upcoming year’s goals.
To prepare for this annual meeting, and to offer opportunities for the congregation to ask questions and learn more in advance, we will have a Budget Forum on Sunday, June 8, at 10:45 am, as well as a Ministry Forum on Sunday, June 15, at 11:30 am. Both forums will take place in Fellowship Hall.
Job Opening: Minister of Music
St. Andrew has a job opening for a full-time Minister of Music to direct and expand a music program that facilitates spiritual growth, enlivens worship, and deepens community.
Please consult the job description for details and to determine if you are qualified. Interested applicants should email a cover letter and resume to the Lead Pastor at pastorallison@standrewlutheran.com.

Adult Education
“If adult education does not become a priority for a congregation, at some point that congregation will cease to exist because its members will simply not know or understand the purpose of the congregation and their role in fulfilling that purpose.” —Neal Boese, Blueprint for Change, page 83.
Children & Youth
Children are not the “future” of the church; they ARE the church. Our Director of Next Generational Ministry, Kyler Vogt, is continuing to connect children, youth, and adult mentors during this time when connection is more important than ever.
Doubt and Darkness
Fear is rampant today. It drives our society into a frenzy of traps we hope will bring us longed-for security and iron-clad safety. For many, our facile attempts to find answers or solutions in religion no longer work. There seems to be no permanently safe place to settle. But might it be that in the midst of our angst, in the places where we all hang on for dear life, new birth can take place?
