Can these stones live again?

Dear St. Andrews Family,What if the thing protecting us is also the thing keeping people out?This Sunday we’ll wrestle with a haunting question from Nehemiah: “Can these stones live again?” We’ll move from broken walls in Jerusalem, to Peter’s shattered assumptions in Acts 10, to Paul’s declaration in Ephesians that Jesus has torn down the dividing wall of hostility.What kind of church are we rebuilding? A fortress… or a home?We’ll talk honestly about decline, change, belonging, hospitality, and the walls we build without even realizing it. And we’ll ask what it might look like for outsiders to become family again. If you get a chance before, read Nehemiah 4:2, Acts 10, and Ephesians 2:11–22. Pastor Jace
