UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSIONCompared with your will, O God, our ways are crooked and not straight; our desires are selfish and not generous; our devotion is shallow and not deep. We have used your name without seriousness and have lived without gratitude for all your gifts. Forgive us, we ask, and turn our hearts to true repentance. Let the Spirit of Christ convert and dwell in us, that we may honor you with our entire beings. For your name’s sake. Amen.

HelpTreehouseFamiliesthisThanksgiving As you look forward to the approaching Thanksgiving holiday, preparing for special times with family, preparing favorite holiday foods, and remembering all the blessings that God has provided, The Treehouse After School Program asks that you also remember the children and families who are a part of our mission. Each year, The Treehouse Advisory Committee provides each of our families with Kroger gift cards to help supplement their Thanksgiving meals. After receiving her card last year, one mom told us that without this gift, her family would not have had a Thanksgiving dinner. Your financial contributions are greatly appreciated and will bless our 11 families knowing they are cared for by the congregation of St. Andrew. Please mark your donations as “Treehouse Thanksgiving” and leave them in the Treehouse mailbox in the church office.
