Remembrance Sunday

Welcome to St. Andrew’s! We’d love for you to join us this Sunday. While our services are rooted in tradition, there is also heartfelt modern music and the occasional joyful "Amen!" Together, we dive deep into Holy Scripture for guidance and lift our personal prayers before God. Come as you are—no need to dress up. Sit wherever you feel comfortable, and if you’d like, stay after the service for coffee and conversation. We’d love to get to know you!

In addition to attending in person, you can stream the service live HERE on Facebook or HERE on our website. This Sunday we will be starting the service with a time of commemoration.

Welcome to today’s worship leaders, Floris, Teresa, and Curtis. Miranda is our elder, and Mo is our reader. Jaylan Mueck is our guest trumpeter.

Order of Service

Prelude

Welcome

Call to Worship

I waited patiently for GOD; who turned to me and heard my cry,
who lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
and set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

We sing a new song! Our mouths are full of the praise of God.

Blessed are we when we make the Lord our trust;
when we do not turn aside to false gods.

We sing of all your many wonders, O God, too many to declare them all.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but our ears you have pierced 
and a body you have prepared for us.

We sing, "Here I am, I have come—I desire to do your will, O my God;
your law is in my heart."

Opening Hymn: "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" #325 (Dykes, Whiting)

Opening Prayers 

Time of Remembrance

“In Flanders Fields” recited by Ian Hinson

Act of Remembrance

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them. We will remember them.
