Join Us for Advent Worship!

With Children’s Chapel and Our All-Parish Advent Event 

Each Sunday we worship in person and online. We are always glad when you worship with us. Nursery care is available during worship, and we offer activity bags to keep little hearts and hands engaged. Our children will have a special Children's Chapel during worship to bring in the season. After church, we will gather in the Parish Hall for our All-Parish Advent Event. Episcopal 101 will meet in the Chapel for its closing session.

Start the New Church Year with Our All-Parish Advent Event

November 30, after Worship

We will gather in the Parish Hall for our All-Parish Advent Event tomorrow after church! Everything you need to make your own Advent wreath will be provided, and we’ll enjoy fellowship, conversation, refreshments, and hot chocolate (or coffee!) while we build wreaths together. A donation of $10 per wreath-making kit is welcomed but not required. Be sure to look for our Advent devotionals which will be available, and join Pat Marsh in the Sanctuary for a Chrismon Conversation.

We Need Your Greenery for Advent Wreaths

Bring on Sunday, November 30

We have all the supplies needed for beautiful Advent wreaths to light the season, except for fresh greenery! If you’re trimming greens in your yard or you have extra Christmas tree cuttings, please bring them to the Parish Hall before church next Sunday!

Episcopal 101: Learn about the Episcopal Church

All are welcome for the last session in this class on the basics of the Episcopal Church. Come explore the faith, beliefs, history, structure, and practices of the Church, with plenty of space to ask questions! We will meet in the Chapel.

Our Bishop’s Visitation is December 7

Each year, all parishes in our diocese receive an official pastoral visit from one of our diocesan bishops. On December 7, the Second Sunday of Advent, Bishop Sam Rodman will visit St. Andrew's. Bishop Sam will preach and celebrate eucharist and will preside over confirmation and reception. After worship, all are invited to the Parish Hall to meet with Bishop Sam for Cake & Conversation. We hope all will join us for this special occasion.

Bring a Friend to Our Advent Service of Lessons & Carols

December 14, 10 a.m.



Join us on the Third Sunday of Advent for our Advent Service of Lessons & Carols. This service consists of scripture readings interspersed with choral presentations and hymns, all of which recall mankind’s longing for liberation from sin and death, and our hope and expectation for the coming of Christ the Lord. Through our experience of sacred Word and music, the story unfolds gradually and deepens our understanding of God’s message of love and redemption. A harpist and violinist will accompany our carol service this year. May the words and music of this service draw you toward the true joy of Christmas.
