Prayer
God our creator, by your holy prophet
Jeremiah you taught your ancient people to seek the welfare of the cities in
which they lived. We commend our neighborhood to your care, that it might be
kept free from social strife and decay. Give us strength of purpose and
concern for others, that we may create here a community of justice and peace
where your will may be done; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A
prayer for the neighborhood (ELW page 78)

News to Share
Carl
Nims
We received
word that our brother in Christ, Carl Nims, died on August 19. Carl and his
wife Ingeborg were active members of Saint Andrew’s for many years before
moving to Texas a few months ago. Carl sang in the Chancel Choir, and also
shared his musical gift by singing solos during worship services. Please hold
Ingeborg and all of their family in prayer.
NW Washington
Synod LiVE Project
LiVE (rhymes with "give") is a ministry of the Northwest
Washington Synod and offers education opportunities for lay people, with the
goal of forming Christian leaders able to make sense of our place in God's
world. LiVE is a hybrid-style learning community, including: in-person
retreats, courses and cohorts via zoom, and opportunities for a-synchronous
engagement via our online learning platform. Saint Andrew’s has purchased a
congregation “bundle”, meaning that the cost of any LiVE offering is covered
for anyone from the congregation. To learn more about LiVE and the course
offerings (the first one begins in September), visit https://lutheransnw.org/ministries/the-live-project.

We did a lot in 2023-2024 with our children, youth, and families, and need

Food Collection for Hopelink
For August, Hopelink has asked us to help them gear up for
back-to-school by collecting granola bars! Any size packaging is good.
Hopelink also appreciates the paper bags we supply to them. Bring all
donations to the Corner of Blessing in the Narthex.
