St. Andrew's Shield “...above all taking the Shield of Faith ..” Ephesians 6:16 Volume 52, Number 1 January 10, 2007 From the Pastor’s Heart “So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in numbers daily.” Acts 16:5 Commit this verse to memory! These words will become increasingly important as the years move on. The Chapter and Verse (Acts 16:5) form the title of a new direction in Presbyterian growth. An exciting opportunity to learn more about it comes February 2 and 3, when Stan Ott leads a two-day seminar at the Bernsen Center. Our Session voted to send participants to learn more about a process of congregational transformation, one that will simultaneously serve our congregation itself and reach throughout Tulsa. Space is limited, and we have a few people in mind already. But we don’t want to leave someone out who feels God might be leading them in that direction. If you want more information let me know. Transforming together! Pastor Ann
NEWS from the PEWS! Roger & Marylyn Baumann recently returned from travels to South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Highlights were: stops at Disney theme parks, visiting with Marylyn's brother in Estero, and visiting a long time friend of Roger's in the Tampa area. Richard and Pastor Ann have been enjoying a month long visit from Richard's son, Clint Wilson, who lives with his wife in Mercedes, Uruguay, South America. Clint is a social worker there, and only returns home every three years.
