2023 Pledge Campaign: How God uses St. Andrew's to empower transforming love in my life, and why making a pledge an important part of sharing this love

 Life is a journey. You must put “God” in your journey just as He put you in His plan. You were divinely appointed! This is an empowering tool to know you are not alone and you are loved. We are given many choices in life and God urges us to choose His way and His path for transforming love, true life, and inner peace. We are not spared or immune from suffering and grief in life’s journey.

During the chaos in this uncertain world, by knowing Jesus Christ and choosing God’s path, we will be transformed and empowered by His love to experience “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding” (Philippians 4:7). We are in safe keeping with God’s love and promised a place in His home, Heaven.
 
St. Andrew’s is a vessel bringing us closer to God just like daily prayer and devotionals. The church is a way we can serve God by worshipping “together” like family where no one is a stranger. St. Andrew’s gives me an opportunity to help and serve our congregants as well as our local community as we would our own family with love.
 
No one should ever be a stranger to God’s Love because our journey with the Lord will lead us to heaven. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10). On October 9, my son, Chad, and other confirmands will be presented to the bishop, they will be committing to God to be free from our old paths to choose His path and His love. St. Andrew’s will empower and transform your life as you are walking with God every day. I invite you to pledge publicly or privately to love God deeper here at St. Andrew’s. God’s love is where the true journey in life begins!

In Christ's love,
Laura Abbitt
