This song, adapted from the Beatles' classic, was performed this past Sunday by Corey Cotter Linforth. Thank you to Corey for sharing your passion for a better world with us:

I heard the news today, oh boy
About a city torn apart again
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I've heard this song before

They shot them inside Bataclan
They didn't notice that the times have changed
A crowd of people opened doors
Faces never seen before
Everybody is so sure that we should go to war

I read the news today, oh boy
Beirut reeling from the acts of war
A crowd of people turned away
It didn't stir our hearts
They don't look like us
They'd love to make us see

Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs to get some air
Somebody spoke and I couldn't breath

Ahhh....

I saw the news today, oh boy
A child face down in the sand
And though he was so very small
We have to count them all
Now we know we don't have enough to share
“We'd love to take you in, but...”

Frosty the Snowman appeared for the recording of the STARS.

Look what I found in storage today.  There was a note on it that said, "this flag was apparently carried to war."  If anyone has the story of it, we would appreciate hearing it.

Social Media Sunday (October 25, 2015) is a day for people to share what is happening in their churches on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instgram, etc. etc. etc.

We hope that on this day a lot of St. Andrew's people will share a lot of the great things that happen at our church. But, just in case you're not sure what to share, how about this second story in our "Stories of Hope Clothing series:


There are too many stories of bad news. There are too many stories about people putting people down, hating them or mistreating them. We need to hear this kind of story.

There are too many stories of hopelessness. We need to hear stories of hope. We need to hear about what God is doing.

So will you help us spread this story and the ones that will follow it?
