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, _________ & Curtis. Jarrett is our elder, and Gina is our reader.

Our guest Preacher is Dr. Russell Currie. Raised in Abbotsford, Russell has called Kamloops home since 2011, when he and his wife, Karen—principal of Kamloops Christian School—moved there to raise their family. They have three daughters in grades 9, 10, and 11 and stay closely involved in community life and local sports. Russell brings that same team-minded spirit to his work, serving as a marketing professor at Thompson Rivers University.
