Wanted: Your junk mail!
Specifically, ads for toys.
Every year at this time everyone's mailboxes are filled with advertisements for toys and other things to buy for Christmas. We will be using some of those ads for a project during our ChristKids time this Sunday. Instead of dropping them in the recycling bin, please consider bringing them with you when you come to worship this Sunday. Please just set them on the reception desk in the office.
Thank you!

The Safe & Healthy Congregations Team at St. Andrew Lutheran Church, 12405 SW Butner Road, in Beaverton will be hosting a series of meetings on Healthy Relationships during Advent. What other time of year do the relationships we have matter more?
All are welcome to join the Adult Education class that will be held on Sunday mornings at 10:00 am in St. Andrew’s Fellowship Hall on December 7, 14, and 21. The classes will take a practical look at what healthy relationships look like and how we can shape them and incorporate them in our lives.
Speakers from various organizations will lead us in talking about how we can build life-affirming relationships with friends, family, and people everywhere within our communities. We will also talk about how we can advocate for those struggling with abuse.
Vika Miller from the Rose City Nonviolent Communication and Thriving Life Institute will talk about ways to communicate nonviolently on December 7. On December 14, Kerry Naughton, a lobbyist from the Partnership for Safety and Justice, will speak about what we can do as citizens to help support victims of domestic and sexual violence, as well as how we can hold perpetrators responsible. Finally, on December 21, St. Andrew Lutheran Church associate pastor Robyn Hartwig will talk about what we can learn about healthy relationships from the Bible.
Please join us as we learn how to love our neighbors as ourselves. For more information, contact India Jensen Kerr at seespotrun2013@yahoo.com or call 503-860-5377.
