Dear Friends,

Please come to worship at St. Andrew's as we celebrate the baptism of Jonathan Thomas and the Fifth Sunday in Lent at 10:00 a.m., in person and online via YouTube. We would love for you to join us!

We are excited to let you know that the restoration to the Church that began shortly after Christmas is now complete and we look forward to seeing you this Sunday to celebrate the rededication of our beautiful sanctuary.

Saint Andrew's offers worship services in person and online, trusting in the Holy Spirit that unites us whether we are in the same place. Sunday worship is livestreamed via the link below, which also connects to the recorded service for those unable to attend on Sunday morning.

Communion at Saint Andrew's

We celebrate the Lord's Supper from the altar.

The Pastor places an individual wafer into the communicant's hand and the worship assistant offers a pre-filled single-use communion cup of wine.

Communion is continuous; please follow the ushers' guidance on when to come forward.

After receiving communion kindly drop the recyclable communion cups into the bowl offered by the usher.

  • You may take either the bread, or the wine, or both elements
  • If you prefer a pre-packaged communion set, please let the ushers know when you come into worship
  • Those not communing are invited to receive a blessing
