Dear Friends,
St. Andrew’s ministry during the
summer of 2016 includes a few notable
highlights to which I’d like to draw your
attention and for which I ask for your
prayers.
The first is Vacation Bible School, that
will be wrapping up as you receive this
newsletter. Thanks to the leadership of
VBS Director Marianne Lohr and a throng
of volunteers, God’s house was once
again filled with the voices of children
from our congregation, our preschool,
and the communities around us. I can
tell you that, based on the feedback of
parents as well as their children, this
weeklong ministry is more than worth
the effort and that St. Andrew is well
known for our commitment to proclaim
the message of Jesus to His youngest
followers in a meaningful, creative,
and exciting way. Be sure to join me in
thanking those who were part of it and
in praying that the seeds we planted at
Cave Quest will grow in the hearts of all
of God’s children!
In mid-July, our High School Youth and
their adult leaders will be heading for
1
BWI and a flight to New Orleans for
our denomination’s National Youth
Gathering. Tens of thousands of
Lutheran teens from across the nation
will spend five days at the MercedesBenz Superdome and surrounding
convention facilities praising God,
studying scripture, wrestling with life’s
big questions, and serving the world
in what will be, for many of them,
the largest single gathering of Christfollowers they will ever experience.
Riki Schoppert, our Director of Student
Ministries, has been leading the fundraising to the tune of $35,000, working
the details, recruiting chaperones, and
meeting with both teens and parents in
preparation for what will be a spiritual
experience they will not forget. How
thankful I am for a church family
that so strongly supports our youth
ministry with your prayers, gifts, and
participation. And speaking of prayers,
let’s also be sure to lift up St. Andrew’s
48 Gathering participants on July 16-20.
Finally, allow me to mention that our
Futures Task Force is continuing its
work and will be preparing a report
to our Board of Directors and, Lord
Continued on page 2
July/August 2016 Volume 67 Issue 7/8
willing, to the rest of our church family
this fall. After considering a long list of
potential initiatives for the future, the
Task Force has been led to offer some
exciting and challenging possibilities
for your prayerful consideration.
As this dedicated group of servants
guides us toward the next phase of our
church-wide conversation, I also ask
that your prayers include a petition for
the Spirit’s blessing and guidance.
While summer is a time to get
refreshed, it’s also an exciting time in
the Spirit of our Lord, who is still very
much at work among us as we minister
to little lambs, energetic teens, young
adults, and God’s children of all ages.
My thanks go out to all who share in
each of these labors of love in order
to show the world that our truest rest,
refreshment, joy, and hope are found
in the amazing love of Jesus!
Have a great summer! And when you’re
in town, I look forward to worshipping
with you!
The Lord be with you+
Love,

Missionaries Gather
“PALS” Meet
at St. Andrew
Under the leadership of Pastor Yared
Halche, cross cultural missionaries of
the Southeastern District and beyond
gathered at St. Andrew on June 25
for a day of worship, fellowship,
collaboration
and
conferencing.
Smaller groups of Ethiopian mission
developers have been meeting on a
regular basis in the Wellspring Center
during the past few months. Be sure to
pray for God’s blessing on our Christgiven mission to make disciples of all
nations!
PALS (Post-Seminary Applied Learning
and Support) is a collaborative effort of
our denomination and its 35 districts
to bring together groups of recent
seminary graduates throughout the
first three years of their ministries.
In these meetings, the new pastors
worship, study and discuss ministry
experiences in the company of an
experienced pastor. St. Andrew
Associate Pastor Steve and Andrea
Miller concluded their three years of
participation by hosting a PALS meeting
at St. Andrew on June 9 – 10.

Thanks upon thanks to almost
60 volunteers who gathered this
spring to make little dresses for girls
in need. In two sessions of great
teamwork and fellowship, dresses
of all sizes were cut, pressed, sewn,
hemmed, decorated and finished
with love. Completed dresses were
blessed in worship on June 5 and
the first shipment was sent off that
week.
The Lord is good and blessed us richly
with donations of materials, time,
talent and love. Our initial hope
was to complete 50 dresses, but
we are on track to quadruple
that goal! The good news is
that we have completed 115
dresses to date. However,
around 85 dresses are still in
various stages of construction,
so we will be planning another
event in the fall to complete
them. Stay tuned for the date
and join us again or for the
first time to experience the
joy of working as a team to make a
difference across the globe.
Special thanks to Kay Caviness &
Janet Burton for heading up this
ambitious project, to Stan Jackson
and his kitchen crew for the delicious
lunch that was served on the first day,
and to Sandy Nee-Jackson for her
guidance.
Indeed, the seeds of hope are being
spread as many young girls will
receive and delight in their first new
garment ever, a special dress made
with love for them alone!

St. Andrew members and friends.

Hypertension Update
& Free Screening
Sunday, July 17
Do you know your blood pressure
reading? Get it measured, even if you
think it's fine. The U.S. Preventive
Services Task force recommends
that everyone age 18 and older be
screened for hypertension. High blood
pressure generally shows few obvious
symptoms, so an estimated 20% of
American adults with the problem
don't even know they have it! But, if
left untreated, it can cause serious
long-term health effects.
Nurses from St. Andrew’s Health &
Wellness Team will conduct free blood
pressure screening on Sunday, July
17 between services in the church
office. Educational material about
hypertension will also be available.

plans become a Physical Therapist.
Melissa is a swimmer, coach &
lifeguard who has a real heart for
community health!
As part of the American Red Cross
“Leaders Save Lives” Program, Mellissa
organized a blood drive last summer
where 24 units were collected, despite
some last-minute technical “glitches,”
including the loss of air conditioning!
Let’s help her stay cool this summer
and exceed that goal. It’s your
chance to give the precious gift that
can save a life, and our participation
may help Melissa earn some
scholarship funds too!
Make your appointment
now at www.redcrossblood.

appointment
with
her on Sunday, July 24.

Confirmation Ministry
Direct your children
onto the right path,
and when
they are older,
they will not
leave it.
Proverbs 22:6
Do you have a 7th grader in your
family or in your life who may be
ready to explore their relationship
with God while making new friends
and answering questions like:
•Does God answer prayer?
•Why do bad things happen to good people?
•How do we know that the stuff in
the Bible is true?
If the answer is yes, then St. Andrew
Confirmation is for you! The 2-year
program is led by a group of dedicated
teachers and coordinators who
together have more than 170 years
of Confirmation teaching experience
and many personal spiritual insights to
share. While the commitment required
is significant, the gifts and blessings
will stay with your child for a lifetime!
The 2016 – 2017 Confirmation year
will begin on the weekend after Labor
Day. At the Fall Retreat (Sept. 9 – 11)
the first-year kids will get to know one
another as we study spiritual gifts and
have fun playing games and doing
activities that build friendships and
community.
Our regular confirmation classes meet
weekly on Friday evenings from 7:00 –
8:00 pm and on Sunday mornings from
9:30 – 10:30 am. Friday classes are
followed by a social or service activity
8
to help the kids bond as they grow in
faith and friendship. Friday activities
range from preparing meals for a
homeless shelter or gift bags for elderly
members, to putt-putt golf, laser tag,
bowling and so much more! Whatever
the confirmands do together, it is all
about faith and fun!
At the conclusion of the two-year
program, participants will be prepared
for the Night of Witness, when each
confirmand will present a personal
statement of faith based on an
individual scripture verse they have
chosen. On the following Sunday,
typically the Day of Pentecost,
confirmands who have completed the
program and given their witness will
participate in the Rite of Confirmation
during morning worship. Confirmation
Weekend is always a wonderful and
powerful time when family, friends
and fellow members are inspired by
the faith journeys of these special
young Christians!
If you are ready to get more details
and/or enroll your child in the
program, just stop by the Confirmation
display in the Commons between
services any Sunday during August,
or contact Confirmation Director
George Mannina at 301-871-1270. The
enrollment deadline for the 2016 –
2017 year is August 28.

Dear Friends...
Thank you for your support of World
Vision with your youth group’s recent
participation in the 30 Hour Famine.
Thanks to churches like yours, it is
working. 25 years ago, the number
of children dying each day from
preventable causes was 40,000.
Today that number is close to 17,000.
People are literally alive today thanks
to the generosity of churches like
yours.
In Partnership,
The 30 Hour Famine Team
Because of your generous donation,
refugees like Hamed from Azerbaijan
have escaped persecution and
received new life and revived hope
in Christ. You are making a difference
through your generosity!

Once again I was the recipient of
meaningful and beautiful altar
flowers. They were given in honor of
my birthday. To those who honored
me, who delivered the bouquet and
who are members serving on the altar
team, thank you, thank you. They
graced my living room for many days,
constantly a reminder of how blessed
I am to be a member of my beloved
congregation.
Dorothy Cockrell
Many thanks for your cards and
prayers during Viggo’s illness, and
for your expressions of support and
sympathy following his death. Special
thanks to my friends in Crafts and
Creative Spirits, who were there for
me during Viggos long final journey.
I am so thankful for the support and
fellowship I have found at LCSA.
God bless you all.
Evelyn Blaes
Thank you for the prayers and the
Creative Spirit gifts. I hope one day, I
could meet you all.
Brenda Rabb
Thank you so much for the care
and concern shown to me and my
family during the recent loss of my

encouragement and cards. While this
time has been challenging, I know that
my mother is in heaven with her Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
With a grateful heart,
