Who Can Worship at St. Andrew's?
Simply put . . . Anyone!
St. Andrew's welcomes anyone who is interested in worshiping here, even
if you are not a baptized Christian.
If
you are like some St. Andrew's worshipers, you were born and raised an
Episcopalian. If so, much of what you experience here will be
familiar to you. The Book of Common Prayer and the 1982
Hymnal
form the foundation of our worship services.
If you are like
most people in our parish, however, you were not born and raised an
Episcopalian. You may have been a Roman Catholic . . . or a
Congregationalist . . . or any of a multitude of faiths . . . or
perhaps not a member of any faith. You may be single . . . or married .
. . or partnered . . . or single again. You may be young . .
. or
older . . . or in-between. Many of our parishioners
have
found the Episcopal Church and St. Andrew's, in particular, to be a
wonderful place for them to be, and many have found it a great place to
raise their children. Whatever your background, you will find
friendship, warmth, and family here at St. Andrew's. What you won't
find is a lot of pressure to join. You can participate at
your
pace. We are all here for our own individual reasons. But we
all
share the commitment to worship God, grow in our understanding of the
Christian faith, and work for hospitality, justice and peace in our
communities and in the world. We hope you will find our
worship
and our community life to be a comfort to your soul.
If you are looking
for a place to participate in outreach efforts, and to
help those who are homeless and hungry, St. Andrew’s is the place for
you.
If you want to deepen your faith,
St. Andrew's is the place for you.
If you want to be part of a
fellowship of Christians, at various places in their journeys
. . . St. Andrew's definitely is the place for you.
Feel
free to worship with us any time. Feel free also to call the
Rector, a Warden, or any member of the Vestry. Any of us will
be
happy to answer any questions you might have.
