Sunday's Service

Join Us in Contemplation

Who's Next on The Stage?

Last Month at St. Andrew's

SUNDAY SERVICE

Might well be I saw too plain

Or maybe I was blind

But I'll keep my face to the dawning light

Though the devil stand behind

Though the devil stand behind my back

Shall I see his shadow fall

I'll read in the light of the morning stars

A good world after all

- Garnet Rogers, from "After All"

Well now, the work of Christmas is in the workings of life. Our Sunday worship helps us to move forward, with the music of Garnet Rogers (what a gorgeous song After All), and Susan’s reflection on the three kings of orient aren’t. Join in blessed communion with one another and Emmanuel, God with us.

See you Sunday.

A MID-WEEK RETREAT

Just 20 minutes of mid-week peace. Might make the world of difference.

At Saint Andrew’s we are expanding our worship offering by adding a weekly contemplative service. Starting in January, Susan and Kevin will lead a sabbath service of prayer and simplicity.

This service follows a structure from the Iona and Taizé communities. The Iona community, located on an island off the coast of Scotland, and the Taizé community in France are internationally known for their worship and prayer services that draw from the ancient traditions of the Christian faith. The Taizé community is also known for their songs of prayer— easy melodies that allow the heart and mind to meditate on the words through the medium of music.

All are welcome every Wednesday, starting January 24th.
