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, Anika & Curtis. 

Order of Service

Prelude

Welcome

Call to Worship  

Open us, O God, like tombs
giving way to your light.
Open us, O God . . .
to your possibilities,
to your word,
to your surprises,
to your love,
to your grace,
to your risen presence.
Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed!

Elders in the church? How does one discern whether to say "Yes" or "No" to an invitation to be an elder? Learn about the role and responsibilities of an elder, examine your gifts, discuss the responsibilities of being an elder with close family/friends/church leaders, and consider if your community is confirming your sense of call. Above all talk, and listen to God in prayer.
