Looking for a few precious moments of peace and perspective in your busy week? We hold worship services each Sunday at 10:30am.
Our worship ministry has many components that are updated each week. We encourage you to "mix and match" the pieces to find out what works best for you.
WORSHIP UPDATE
-
On this first Sunday in November we celebrate All Saints Sunday with Communion. We hope you will join us for this special worship service which will open with a photo slideshow of our First-St. Andrew's Saints. Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, will lead the service. He will be joined by Paul Cooper who will read our first scripture from Isaiah 25: 1, 4a, 6-10a. Our Gospel reading is Matthew 27: 50-56 which forms the basis of the sermon entitled “Great Expectations.” We are grateful to members of our Confirmation Class and their mentors for serving Communion this week.

They will be joined by our Senior Choir for the Musical Reflection, "We Are Not Alone" by Pepper Choplin and our Communion Reflection "The Lord Is My Shepherd" by Will Todd.

Congregational hymns this Sunday are TLUS #154 “Since We Are Surrounded," VU #236 "Now Thank We All Our God," VU #706 "Give Thanks for Life" and VU #424 “May the God of Hope Go with Us." We will continue with the sung version of the Prayer of Jesus, "Our Creator in Heaven" by Jason Locke which was introduced two weeks ago and TLUS #13 "Santo, santo, santo" as the Sung Acclamation during Communion.

Ready for a break from all your screen time? Why not join either the Fall or Winter/Spring session of Bible Study on Thursdays at 11am? It's much more than Bible Study, though. We discuss the message of the Bible through the lens of a book or commentary. Contact the church office for details. We'd love to see you in person!
