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 on Facebook HERE or on our website HERE. 

Welcome to today’s worship leaders: Timma, Lea, and Curtis. Our elder is Klaas, and our reader is Marion D. 

Order of Service

Prelude

Welcome

Call to Worship (inspired by John 13:34-35; 1 John 4:7)

Jesus offers a new-old commandment,
that we should love each other.
With the incredible power
and the unfathomable depth
of God's love for us
we can
we must
love one another.
And it is in this
our love for one another
that the world will know
whom and what we worship. 
Come, children of God, 
let us love one another.
