*Apostles Creed (unison) Confirmation Class I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

All: Save us from offering our devotion, however weak, to cheap and easy religion in the face of the harder path on which you bid us to follow you.

Be Holy Lenten Devotionals Available in the Narthex Lent is a holy journey with God, but what does it mean exactly to be holy? In Be Holy, Presbyterians Today s new Lenten devotional for 2016, pastor and author Brian Coulter has penned a series of brief daily reflections, paired with a short, ancient form of praise and petition called a breath prayer, to explore what holiness means for Christians today. He invites us to receive from God this blessed gift that makes our lives more compelling, more enjoyable, and more faithful. Please pick one up in the Narthex. St. Andrew PresbyterianChurch 300 W.

The Community Outreach Committee strives to provide opportunities for members of St. Andrew to assist with community needs through donations and volunteer opportunities. We have several projects during the year, almost one per month! We are currently looking to determine if there are additional ways for the congregation to participate in the many needs of our community. For the months of January and February, our project is to provide supplies for the children of Denton Christian Preschool. Current needs are: glue sticks, liquid hand soap, dry erase markers, safety pins, large crayons, construction paper, lunch bags, paper plates, toilet paper, children s toothpaste, AA batteries and 9V batteries. Please leave your donated items in the bins next to the Coke machine downstairs. If you have any questions, please call June McNeill, 940-591- 6080. From the Music Director The Glory to God Hymnal Fund is closing in on the halfway point to our goal. Thank you so much to all of you who have already given generously! We would very much like to complete the process of acquiring the new hymnals and have their dedication be part of our service on Trinity Sunday (May 22). Please consider what you and your family can contribute to help make this happen! -Jeff February Give-a-Meal Spaghetti and Canned Sauce, Canned Green Beans, Canned Fruit Optional: Coffee, Cereal, Dry Milk Please return your non-perishable donations for the Denton Community Food Center to the collection bin by the Coke machine near Fellowship Hall.
