Holy God, we confess that we have strayed from your paths of right relationship and peace, and we have dishonored you, ourselves, and your creation; we repent of these hurtful ways. Forgive us, we pray, as we learn to forgive others, and guide our feet into the way of peace. Amen.

The peace of the Lord be with you all. And also with you.

Announcements
Welcome! We are happy to have you here with us today. If you would like more information about St. Andrew, please indicate your interest on the Connection Card. Join us for a time of fellowship and refreshments after the
service. This is a wonderful way to meet the St. Andrew family.
All ages are welcomed in our worship services. Worship materials for children and adults, including large print hymnals, bibles, and bulletins are available on the shelves outside the north sanctuary doors. A T-Coil hearing
assist loop is also available for those with this feature on their hearing aids.
If needed, infant and toddler care (up to age 2) is provided downstairs in the Nursery. Children’s Time, for ages 3
years through Kindergarten, is also downstairs.
Prayer Requests may be written on a blue Prayer Request Card and placed in the offering plate.
QR Coding for Giving: The QR code in the Sunday bulletin is an electronic code that links to the giving page on our church website. In worship, we respond to God’s love with our offering. We hope that people who like
technology will use these prompts to connect their gifts to our worship.
Connection Cards are one way we can extend welcome and hospitality to our guests while also helping us consider steps we can take in the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ. We ask each person to fill out the card and place it in the offering plate. Members, once your contact information is correct, you only need to write your name.
I will…
Continue to ask questions about faith and God to continue to grow in faith.
Intentionally remind myself that Jesus promised that no one will snatch his followers out of his hands.
Live out of confidence and trust because I know I am safe in the hands of Jesus, and so become the
hands of Christ in the world.
The flowers are given by Gordon Hinz in memory of Marie.
“The Art of Neighboring”: St. Andrew is celebrating the music and message of the best-known and most beloved Presbyterian minister in U.S. history: Mister Fred Rogers. In order to learn from the many lessons the late children’s television icon taught over four decades, the Adult Ed will meet today between worship services in to focus on “the art of neighboring.” We will discuss how Mister Rogers answered the biblical question, “Who is my neighbor?”, and then figure how we — as individuals and as a congregation — should be answering that question in 2019. When: 9:45 am, May 12. Where: The Hub.
Per Capita 2019 Every dollar paid directly supports mission by freeing up funds for Mission, Outreach, and Service (MOS) to
distribute. The rate for 2019 is $38.
St. Andrew's Session generally meets at 7:00 pm on the third Thursday of most months. Session meets next on May 16. We will provide Session Highlights from the previous month as a regular column in the Messenger. To look at the minutes from any Session meeting, follow this link: saintandrew-ic.org/about/session.
St. Andrew Session Meetings
Habitat for Humanity Interfaith Build
Building for the Interfaith IVHFH home began in mid-April. As a major supporter of this build, all St. Andrew members are encouraged to get out and build. To learn about specific volunteer opportunities, please either sign up at the volunteer counter in the Atrium or sign up at www.iowavalleyhabitat.org/volunteer-on-a-construction-site.html for work shifts every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 8 am to 12 pm or 1 pm to 5 pm. Becka Simpson will be building on May 17 (1-5 pm) and encourages everyone to join her! Questions? Email Jan Taylor at jantaylor-
Adopt-A-Tomato Plant
Lettuce Feed Others is hosting their annual adopt-a-tomato plant campaign. LFO will provide free tomato plants to those who sign up at the display in the Atrium. Adoptive families can pick up plants Sunday morning before, during, and after church service (May 12 or 19). Once plants start to produce fruit, you are invited to bring your tomatoes to St. Andrew and our delivery team will ensure that all produce is delivered to the Johnson County Food Bank. Keep the following in mind:
If your plant struggles and does not produce any tomatoes, that is COMPLETELY fine! Sometimes weather and Iowa growing conditions aren't very friendly. We do not hold you responsible for results!
No experience is necessary! If you want to TRY growing a plant, we encourage that! Please email [email protected] if you drop off tomatoes or leave them at the church (other
than Sunday mornings on the collection cart). There are several refrigerators and places we have "discovered" produce, and we want to make sure our delivery team finds your goodies.
Thanks so much for helping us be part of the food insecurity solution in our community! Love and leafy greens from the LFO crew! If you have questions about the program, just email us!
Registration is open! Forms can be found on our website or in the Atrium document kiosk.
