St. Andrew’s Announcements


Earth Day Service
On the Sunday after Easter, our worship service will focus on Meeting God in Creation. The hymns, prayers, readings, anthems, children's time, and messages will all encourage us to experience God in the natural. world. Several members of the Mission Committee and others will be participating .in the leadership of worship that day. The hand bell choir will be playing two beautiful pieces. It is sure to be an uplifting and inspiring service. And there is a special activity planned for the Coffee Hour following the service. The children especially are encouraged to come and participate. Please consider wearing something BRIGHT that day, even if you are worshipping via television or live-streaming. We do this to remind ourselves that the joy of the resurrection continues. The celebration of Easter is not limited to one Sunday only.
