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 on Facebook HERE or on our website HERE.
Welcome to today’s worship leaders: Matt, Linda and Clement. Our elder is Jarrett, and our reader is Amy. Today we are celebrating Holy Communion, so if you are joining online, please prepare some wine/grape juice and bread.
Order of Service
Prelude
Welcome
Call to Worship
Friends, we gather this day to celebrate life –
The life we have been given by God,
The life we share with one another in community,
The life that Jesus offers in abundance.
Let us be grateful for these good gifts,
And let us worship God.
