Fantastic! If you've been enjoying your Sunday mornings worshiping at St. Andrew's and are thinking of becoming a member, talk to the minister and learn what it means. The minister will be able to answer all of your questions and guide you to what's right for you.
Communion, the breaking of bread and drinking of wine or grape juice, reminds us of Jesus. In Communion we are united with Jesus and with each other; we are strengthened to go out into the world as a "symbol of hope for a troubled age." Communion is thanksgiving and a memorial of Christ's life and death.
At St. Andrew's, Communion is held:
- Second Sunday in March
- Second Sunday in June
- First Sunday in October
- Second Sunday in December
Baptism can occur at any age at St. Andrew's. It occurs in conjunction with a profession of faith and admission to church membership. Believing parents bring their child for Baptism and promise to raise their child to love and serve God. The entire congregation promises to support the child. Usually the minister pours or sprinkles water on the person's head in Baptism. The waters of Baptism symbolize refreshment, cleansing, new life, the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Because Baptism is seen as an act of the whole church and a sign of church membership, Baptism always happens in the presence of the worshipping congregation. To discuss baptism, please contact our Minister.

Are you the associate minister?
"No I am the only minister at St. Andrew's".
How is it you came to St. Andrew's?
"Ask God".
Are you the first woman on Church Street to be a minister in the older established churches?
"Yes, they call me the pioneer".
How can you lead that church all by yourself?
"I am not alone. Christ is walking with me in my pastoral journey, hand in hand. I always ask the Lord what He wants for St. Andrew's".
