Social activities show church alive, caring

Saint Andrew's United Methodist Church, SR 13 north, Syracuse, has many social activities which are held at the church, or activities backed by the church which are held elsewhere in the community. These activities, according to one member of the congregation, “indicate that the church is a caring church, an alive church, concerned about people. ” Activities are geared to various groups, such as singles, youth and new members. Special functions are often held after church services to encourage fellowship on a personal level. One of the groups, which is backed by Saint Andrew’s, with impetus from the Council of Ministries, is the Live-Alones. This group meets about once a month at various places throughout the community. They have no specific program with emphasis on informality, casualness and being with people. Singles of various ages make up the group, which meets at local restaurants or in the church parlor. Size of the group varies from very large in the summer, to much smaller in the winter, when many of its members are gone. Meetings are often anticipated by members of the group. The meetings give them a chance to get out and spend time with old friends and make new acquaintances. Live-Alones hold their meetings primarily in the daytime hours, but church members are working to organize a live-alone group for people who work during the day. Youth Group Another group at Saint Andrew's that is very active is the youth group. This group meets on Sunday evenings or afternoons at the church and high school and junior high age people from the community are invited to participate. A project of the youth group is the Valentine's Breakfast, which will be held at the church on Sunday. Feb. 13, from 8-9:30 am. A menu of coffee cakes, breakfast casserole, coffee, juices and other items will be prepared by the youth group and served to the public. Tickets will be sold for the breakfast and proceeds will go into a savings account to be used for worthwhile projects. Two special sharing groups meet once a month at the church to share their thoughts based on Christian beliefs. The meetings

The Newspaper / BIBLE I SHALL RETURN! ARE YOU PREPARED? "Be prepared—all dressed and ready—for your Lord’s return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let Him in the moment He arrives! and knocks. "There w ill be great joy for those who are ready and waiting for His return. He Himself will sedt them and put’on a waiter’s uniform and serve them as they sit and eat! He may come at nine o’clock at night—or even at midnight. But w henever He comes there will be joy for His servants who are ready! Everyone would be ready for Him if they knew the exact hour of His return—just as they would be ready for a thief if they knew w hen he was coming. So be ready all the time. For I. the Man of .Glory, will i .mie when least expected." Peter asked. "Lord, are You talking just to us or to everyone?" And the Lord replied. "I’m tjalking to any faithful, sensible man whose master gives him the responsibility of feeding the otherservants. If his master returns and finds that he has done a good job. there will be a reward—his master will put him in charge of all he owns. But if the man begins to jthink. ‘My Lord won’t be back for a long time.’ and begins to whip the men and women he is supposed to protect, and to spend his time at drinking parties and in drunkenness—well, his master’ will return without notice and remove him from his position of trust and assign him to the place of the imfaJhful. He will be severely punished, for though heknew his duty he iefused to do it. "But anyone who is not aware that he is doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, for their responsibility is greater." Luke 12:35-48
