The Annual Financial Meeting for St. Andrew's is coming up soon. Mark your calendar and plan to stay for the meeting after the worship service on Sunday, March 2nd. In preparation for the meeting, copies of the Annual Financial Report will be available at the church this Sunday (February 24th). Pick up a copy to review during the week, and come to the meeting with your questions, comments, and suggestions.

As usual, lunch will be prepared and served by the St. Andrew's Youth Group. There is no charge for the lunch, but your donations are always appreciated. Funds raised by the youth group are used to support our youth to attend youth conferences and events.

Parents, don't worry about what to do with your kids during the meeting. After lunch we'll have some videos playing in the nursery with supervision by members of the youth group.

The Annual Financial Meeting will also include a memorial moment and prayer as we remember those members of St. Andrew's who died during 2007.

Do your kids or grandkids need something to do during the February school break?

Children in grades 1-8 are invited to join us at St. Andrew's from 9 a.m. to noon, Monday Feb. 18th - Thursday Feb. 21st. Each day we will explore another Gospel story as we travel "Along the Road with Jesus." There will be music, storytelling, drama, art, games, and more. A snack will be provided, and there is no cost for this program.

For more information, phone (306-242-0525) or email () the church office. Registration forms are available in the entranceway at the church.

The Bible was the first book ever printed mechanically. Before the printing press, Bibles were copied by hand. Because this was so laborious few people could afford their own copy of the Bible. The invention of the printing press in 1450 made it possible for ordinary people to afford their own Bible. Every year millions of Bibles are sold, making it the bestselling book in history.

The Bible is still the most widely distributed book in the world. It has been translated, in whole or in part, into more than 2000 languages! However, the Bible is no longer as well-known or as well read as it once was. Many people own a Bible but rarely read it. And most people are largely unfamiliar with its contents.

How many copies of the Bible are sitting on shelves in your house, rarely being opened? Would you like to learn more about it? Would you like to start reading it?

Come and take part in “Bible Basics” on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. during Lent to learn more about the Bible and start reading God's Word again (or for the first time).
