Hello, and Welcome to Our Website!
“When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, What has your attention at this very moment? This reading? Perhaps, but we all know that we can give modest attention to several things at once. We eat, read, and listen for the phone all at the same time. When our search for something consumes all our energy and all our senses, everything else fades away and disappears. Even a ringing phone goes unanswered when we are seeking to give answer to another call deep within.
What are you searching for that consumes all your energy and attention? The quest for God is a search worthy of such all-consuming passion and energy. The Bible has countless accounts that indicate such a search is always generously rewarded.
Jesus asked two of John's disciples what they were looking for and invited them to come and see where and how he lived. The desire to know and be near to God has been placed within as an invitation to a lifelong quest for companionship with the divine.
And yet, from personal experience we know that sometimes we look in all the wrong places. These disciples of Jesus were invited to continue their search where Jesus was and not where he was not. Our directions are certainly as plain as theirs are.
What are you looking for today and where will your search be successful?
The quest for God is always successful when carried out where God is to be found. Where shall we begin the search? St. Andrew's United Methodist Church is a place where the living Christ is present and at work. Through Spirit-filled worship, Bible study, mission outreach, Sunday School, youth, women and men's ministries and countless opportunities for fellowship-St. Andrew's is a place, and a faith family, where you can find Christ.
Today, pay attention to what has your undivided attention and follow the clues to a closer walk with God. Come to St. Andrew's and journey along with all of us who have said “yes” to Christ's call to follow him.

Grace and Peace,
'What are you looking for?'" - John 1:38
