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 & Curtis.
Order of Service
Prelude
Welcome
Call to Worship (Psalm 25)
Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth
for you are my Saviour and my God.
Remember your great mercy and love,
for you, Lord, are good.
He instructs sinners in his ways.
He guides the humble in what is right.

Elder Election: We will follow a denomination-prescribed process for electing new elders: A ballot listing all church members will be distributed to all professing members. Using this ballot, members will prayerfully select those they believe God is calling to serve as elders. Completed ballots must be sealed, signed, and returned to the church by the designated deadline. Session will review the ballots and approach candidates based on their suitability, the number of votes received, and the number of elders needed. Please note: only professing members may vote or be considered for leadership. If you would like to join the congregation, please speak with an elder or Pastor Steve at your earliest convenience.
