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: Marion D, Floris, and Curtis. Our elder is Marion D, and our reader is Mandy.

Call to Worship
We are blind to many things.
Lord, cure our blindness.

Come, worship God who forgives and heals.
Open our eyes, O Lord, that we might see your face.
