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.
Klaas Broersma is an elder and the Clerk of Session at St. Andrew's Presbyterian. Klaas has lived in Kamloops since the 1990s and previously worked as a research scientist at the Federal Government’s Range Research Station.
Welcome to today's worship leaders, Anika & Curtis. Today's elder is Kathy and our reader is Marion D.

Welcome
Call to Worship
Come, let us worship the Lord—not for fleeting gain, but for the eternal promise.
As the Apostle Paul reminds us: “For Physical training is of some value,
but godliness has value for all things…” (1 Timothy 4:8)
We come to seek the Lord, whose Word is our strength and whose presence is our reward.
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked…
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord…
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season.” (Psalm 1:1–3)
We delight in Your Word, O God.
Train our hearts in righteousness and plant us in Your truth.
How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
By living according to Your Word…
I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:9–11)
Shape us, Lord, through Your Word. Make us fit for this life—and the next.
Let us worship with discipline, with joy, and with hope—
knowing that godliness holds promise for today and for eternity.
We worship the Living God, who trains our souls and prepares us for glory!
