Welcome to St. Andrew's! We would love to have you join us this Sunday. Our services are structured/formal though we incorporate modern music and there is the occasional shouted 'amen'. We dive deeply into Holy Scripture for guidance and bring our personal prayer requests before God. You don't need to dress up. You can sit where you like. You are invited to stay for coffee after the service and make some new friends. While Sunday school for teens is held on Zoom before the service, classes for school-age children are held onsite (during the service) as well.

Welcome to St. Andrew's! We would love to have you join us this Sunday. In addition to attending in person, you can stream the service live HERE on Facebook or HERE on our website.

Thanks to Miranda & Curtis for helping lead this morning's worship.

Order of Service

Welcome

Call to Worship 

The world finds no proof of God.
But the heavens tell of God’s glory.
God’s message is foolishness to the world.
But God’s folly trumps human wisdom.
The freedom of the world brings us death.
But obedience to God’s ways brings life.
We gather in the name of Christ crucified.
The Word made flesh brings life to God’s people!
