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 are celebrating Holy Communion. Children will remain in the service, sitting with their parents. Those joining us online should prepare some bread/crackers and wine/grape juice.
Welcome to today's worship leaders, Linda & Curtis.

Prelude
Welcome
Call to Worship
Call to Worship (Psalm 31)
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge.
Let me never be put to shame.
Deliver me in your righteousness.
Turn your ear to me.
Come quickly to my rescue.
Be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.
Since you are my rock and my fortress,
lead and guide me,
for the sake of your name.
Let your face shine upon your servant.
Save me in your unfailing love!

Elders in the church? Elders meet monthly to guide the congregation, make decisions, and pray. Meetings often include devotional and educational elements, reminding elders of their ongoing need for God. While many voices are heard in meetings, elders speak with one voice outside them. Though some matters remain confidential, the Session is encouraged to communicate openly with the congregation. Each elder is appointed a district of individuals for whom they provide care.
