Priced to sell! Bargains galore!
While these are the sales pitches for tomorrow’s Yard Sale to benefit our Youth Group, they hardly seem fitting words for a church, or are they?
While you might find a lawn spreader for $5 or a Nordic Trac Eliptical for $100 or a candle for only 25 cents (bargains all), what would you pay for the redemption of your soul?
Jesus paid the ultimate price for your salvation. He suffered betrayal, humiliation, torture and a brutal death to ransom our souls from Satan. You, however, need only to ask forgiveness and believe in Him to be saved.
Now THAT’s a bargain.
Come check out the thousands of bargains we offer at our Yard Sale tomorrow and help send our Youth to the 2012 ELCA National YouthGathering in New Orleans.

This Saturday, May 7 from 8:00 am until 3:00 pm, the Youth of Saint Andrew will be hustling about helping you make a fantastic purchase from our Yard Sale. There are thousands, and I mean literally thousands, of items to choose from. Come and shop.... RAIN or SHINE!!!
The proceeds from this Yard Sale will help to offset the costs of sending these Youth (and their chaperones) to the 2012 ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans next year. The goal is to raise as much of the estimated cost of $1500 for each person as possible. Your purchase at our Yard Sale will help us on the fund-raising journey to make that happen.
Three years ago when our Youth attended this gathering, they took a special banner with them to remind them of the one person missing from their group whose smile is very much missed among them.
In 2006, our congregation lost a member of our Youth to acute myeloid leukemia. She was 16. She was good friends with all the kids from St. Andrew who attended the 2009 Gathering. So in her honor they brought a banner displaying her face and the message that she would be transformed along with them. The kids tied the banner to the Super Dome railing, along with hundreds of other banners from churches around the country. It helped them to remember that she was with them in spirit. Stani would have LOVED sharing the experience of the National Youth Gathering.
Next summer, this next bunch of kids plan to take this banner with them again. Among the group will be Stani’s sister.
So your purchase at this Saturday’s Yard Sale will not only help a bunch of Youth to have the experience of a lifetime, you will help keep a memory alive… the memory of a very special sixteen year old girl whose smile would light up any room and whose personality you could not help but enjoy.
Jesus lived in Stani. Now she lives with him.
