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.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ and Its Impact on our Society Today: A Message of Grace and Not Prosperity" Seminar
Sponsored by Cross-Cultural Ministry
 Feb. 11th-16th in the Commons Room (#1)
 From 7-9 p.m. on Monday Thru Friday, Feb. 11th-15th;
and from 9 a.m. until Noon on Saturday, Feb. 16th.
Facilitated by the Rev. David Ortigoza, pastor of Cross-Cultural Ministry
at St. Andrew's United Methodist Church - Charlotte.
This seminar aims to respond to the materialistic and secularist considering the truth of the kingdom of God, according to the teachings of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel. It will be concentrated, on the one hand, in reflection and praxis of the neo- and pseudo-Pentecostal movement that damages the healthy doctrine of the Gospel. On the other hand, the seminar will respond to the culture of greed and false economic gain, derived from a misleading and unbiblical current. 
The seminar is open to all pastors in our community and local congregation leaders who wish to attend.
