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. 

Welcome to today’s worship leaders, Timma, Floris, & Curtis. Marion D is our elder, and Mandy is our reader.

Order of Service

Prelude

Welcome

Call to Worship (Psalm 19)

The word of the Lord is perfect!
God’s word revives the soul!
The decrees of God never fail!
Our hearts rejoice!
The word of God shines clear!
Our eyes are enlightened!
The word of the Lord endures forever!
Blessed be God’s holy name!
