Amazing!

I am still amazed by what a church can do when we work together.

The Fall Festival is a great example.  We had a great night last Sunday!  The FaithZone team had been working for months getting all the details worked out. On the day of the event there is no way that we could possibly have made the event a success without the support of the church.

We had trunk or treat cars open and ready for business all night! 

We had all of our booths staffed by volunteers and the confirmation class.

We had amazing chili ready to fill our bellies.

We had a concession stand ready to sell us cotton candy!

We had SAUMC Staff members in the dunk tank.  (That was not my favorite part of the evening.......)

We had an amazing night!  We did it together as a family.  We had young and old serving our community together.  A buzz word in ministry now is “intergenerational ministry” where all generations are able to worship and serve together.   As I walked around the festival I was filled with a spirit of community and joy that summed up our “radical hospitality”

St. Andrew has core values that we continue to use as a focus on all of our ministries:

Unexpected Extra


Radical Hospitality


Can-do Confidence


Abundant Grace


Extravagant Generosity

I believe that each of these values where shown to the community on Sunday.  So, THANK YOU St. Andrew!  You did an amazing job!
