St. Andrew’s worship is spiritual, uplifting and welcoming, whether you choose to worship in Union Chapel or the Parish House. For those raised in the Episcopal church, you may be interested to know that we utilize the 1979 Book of Common Prayer Rite II services. For those coming from other Christian denominations, it may be helpful to know that services feature weekly readings, proclamation of the Gospel, a sermon and Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion). The service bulletin has all the responses and information needed to participate in a worship service. All who desire to participate in Christ’s offering of bread and wine are welcome to receive Holy Eucharist, including children. If you choose not to receive at Holy Eucharist, you may come forward with your arms crossed over your chest to indicate to the Eucharistic ministers that you prefer a verbal blessing.
