Rock Someone's World!
We have started a new group on Facebook:
St. Andrew's UMC Rocks! This group was started to spread God's love by putting smiles on the faces of others. The idea is to paint rocks and hide them in various locations to brighten someone's day. Find the group on Facebook, request to join the group, then read the instructions. We'd love to have YOU paint a rock! Any questions, email Amanda Newhouse at here.

Note About Who We Are:
 The direction we believe God has given us is to grow into being a multi-cultural congregation. A one-mile radius around our building includes 4% Asian, 19% African-American, 42% White, and 32% Hispanic or Latino neighbors. We best re-present God's Kingdom and God's love when we are together.
 
This is substantive work. We're getting better at approximating God's goal, but we're not there yet. We need to learn from people like you. We believe in the vision that Jesus gave us when he fed the 5,000, a vision in which we'll all be fed and healed at Jesus' feet together. We hope that we can partner with you in this work.
