For Our Children
We invite families to join us for our worship services!
-
Children’s Church. During the 10am service, children ages 4-12 are invited to join our Children’s Church program. Children’s Church meets during the first 20 minutes of the 10am service, and children return to their families for Communion. Our Children’s Church program incorporates lessons from Godly Play curriculum as well as our “Faith in Action” series that has students engage with service and outreach ministries of St. Andrew’s.
-
Open play spaces. For children who do not attend Children’s Church, we have a play space available on the side of the sanctuary. Additionally, caregivers are welcome to take their smaller children upstairs to our nursery and entertain them with the toys available there.
-
Children’s Liturgy. During the first Sunday of every month, children will remain with their families and participate in the Children’s Liturgy during the 10am service.
​
Our church school operates September to June during the 10am Service. Contact the Church Office for more information.

Prayer and Study
Adult Formation continues to be a priority at St. Andrew's. During the past two decades, this has taken the form of adult Bible study, theological and devotional reading groups, and occasional use of external presenters. Before COVID and our last call, our previous Rector led informal discussions concerning Christian faith, practice, and mission opportunities during a coffee hour between Sunday morning services. During the pandemic, one of our lay leaders initiated a small group, Growth in the Spirit, to meet online to read and discuss a reading that facilitated devotion, prayer, and personal sharing. For questions about Prayer & Study, contact Rev Sara.
​
Centering Prayer Group: Meeting via Zoom on Wednesday evenings (7-8:15pm), this group engages in a 20-minute Centering Prayer and shared Lectio Divinia using the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday.
​
​Growth in the Spirit: Meeting via Zoom on Thursday mornings (9-10am), this group meets to read & discuss a reading that facilitates devotion, prayer, and personal sharing.
