Welcome to St. Andrew's! We would love to have you join us this Sunday. In addition to attending in person, you can stream the service live HERE on Facebook or HERE on our website.
We are celebrating Holy Communion this Sunday. Those who join via the live stream or recordings are invited to prepare some juice and bread for this part of the service.
Thanks to Curtis & Linda for helping lead this morning's worship.
