Have Christians become what Jesus came to stop us from being?

Join us in Pastor Dan’s Study in  Room #20 on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
Now thru May 2017
 This is the question author Morgan Guyton puts to the reader of his book, How Jesus Saves the World from Us: 12 Antidotes to Toxic Christianity. Guyton identifies 12 toxic Christian attitudes such as disingenuous posturing, ideological certitude, and pursuit of celebrity. In counterpoint, he offers 12 directions in which Christians need to go in order to head deeper into the Kingdom of God, such as mercy not sacrifice, worship not performance, and communion not correctness. Pastor Dan will lead the discussion in such a way that one need not have read the book, but it will help.

Short-Term
Book Study
in Room 29
Wednesdays: 6:30-7:30 p.m.

This group is for folks that are not ready to commit to long-term studies or folks that find it difficult to participate in long-term studies due to work schedules. This five-week class will begin September 14th and will be based on Adam Hamilton’s book “Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White”. Facilitated by our members Dave and Susan Johnson, this study will have a DVD time and a discussion time in the class. All are welcome.

Volunteer with Heart Math Tutoring . . . Charlotte’s high-poverty schools and students need the community’s help, and volunteering with Heart Math Tutoring is a fun, effective way to make a difference in only 30 minutes or 1 hour per week. With the support of an on-site coordinator, volunteers use an easy-to-follow, proven curriculum featuring hands-on activities and games. Tutors work one-on-one with a student who is below grade level in elementary math.  St. Andrew's UMC had 7 Heart tutors at Montclaire Elementary last year and we are excited to grow that number to support more students!
Sign up to volunteer at www.hearttutoring.org/become-a-volunteer/!

HABITAT–St. Andrew’s is joining with Charlotte Church Partners to build two houses this year. The building has begun at 4021 and 4025 Westway Drive in the Thomasboro neighborhood. We thank those of you who came to and contributed to the Habitat Fundraising Luncheon on Sunday. We urge others who wish to contribute to the Habitat fund to do so within the next two weeks so that we can get our contributions in before our “HOST” day. Volunteers are welcome any Saturday between now and November 19.  St. Andrew’s UMC's “Host Day’ is Saturday, October 8th and the scheduled task for that day is vinyl siding.   Many workers are needed. To sign up, go to the webpage:
http://habitatcharlotte.org/volunteer//charlotte-church-partners-2016  
 
The Mary Martha Circle is providing lunch, but we also need donations of fruit, individually wrapped nutrition bars, small 8-12 oz. bottles of water, and Gatorade.  Persons willing to contribute any of these please contact  Ruth or Hurst Mauldin at ruthandme65@gmail.com or 704-523-5510.
