Sounds Good!

Welcome to St. Andrew's! We would love to have you join us this Sunday. 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 Matt and Marion.

Welcome to Daniel Surya, our guest preacher. Daniel, his wife (Selly), and his son (Ben) are originally from Indonesia. His family came to Canada in August 2019 to support Daniel to study at Vancouver School of Theology (VST). Daniel is a certified candidate for ministry from Western Han Ca Presbytery where he serves as an English-speaking pastor at Vancouver Korean Presbyterian Church. Having graduated Daniel is now in the process of seeking a call.

Welcome

Call to Worship (Psalm 63:1-4)

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you. 
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
