WELCOME TO SAINT ANDREW'S SMALL FAITH GROUPS AND "LIVING JOY" 

God wants you to experience the JOY for which he created you. So do we. Here's how. 

It all starts by following 9 simple rules. 

Rule 1: Give Thanks 

Rule 2: Practice Silence 

Rule 3: Love Yourself 

Rule 4: Have Fun 

Rule 5: Engage your Body in the Battle for Joy 

Rule 6: Make Friends 

Rule 7: Rest 

Rule 8: Serve 

Rule 9: Frame Your Mind with Faith 

Every success in life is meaningless without joy. Joy is God's dream for you. Heaven is called a "wedding banquet." And Jesus' whole mission was to share that joy with you. He said it himself. "I've told you these things so my joy may be in you." Think about that. The joy of GOD in YOU. The experience of that eternal joy starts now. And it doesn't start with a change in your circumstances but a change in you.
