Sunday Worship Service

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, so if you are joining online, please prepare some juice and some bread/crackers.

Welcome to today’s worship leaders, Timma & Curtis. Marion H. is our elder, and our reader is Nana.

Order of Service

Prelude

Welcome

Call to Worship (Psalm 8)

How majestic is your name, O God, in all the earth.
All of creation tells of your marvelous works.
The heavens are the handiwork of your fingers.
All of creation tells of your marvelous works.
And yet you care for human beings as your children.
All of creation tells of your marvelous works.
How majestic is your name, O God, in all the earth.
