What is 
?
Join us for a unique new opportunity as we focus on four life-giving practices of abundant living! Special courses designed with you in mind to grow deeper in faith and have a little fun along the way. Meet new people, find time to invest in you!
The format is simple and most courses will be conducted online. We’ll kick-off a new topic each month- center around prayer, scripture, faith story telling and service. Join us for one or all four and add to your depth of understanding by selecting a small group/breakout session for 3 weeks! A great way to try new opportunities to grow in your faith this year. Short on time? Consider registering for the large group session and weekly podcasts by Dr. Chan.

Word of the Week: Your Story Through Scripture
Every week during 2021 watch for Word of the Week where 52 St. Andrew’s members have chosen a verse from the Bible that speaks to their heart.
ON-YOUR-OWN PODCAST TO GO
Short on time? Sign up to receive weekly podcasts via email and grow deeper in faith and you listen and learn to live in faith everyday by tending to scripture. Dr. Michael Chan and special guests explore why scripture matters in a world with so many voices. What makes for a good story? Why is storytelling so hard? What is one story that changed your life? How do you tell your story on social media?
Family Bible Story Time
Join these interactive conversations with actual Bible studies your family will get to do together during a Sunday evening devotion time -- between dinner and your bedtime routine! Try out different ways to explore God's Word, including shared reading, dramatic readings, puppets, and using simple objects from around your home to help Bible stories come alive for children. Each week you'll connect with each other, with other families, and leave with practical ideas for how to use the Bible in everyday life. Facilitated by Beth Hamen and Erika Hiland on the Children, Youth & Family Ministry Team. Sundays, 7-7:30 p.m. (Nov. 8, 15, 22)
