The Mission of St. Andrew

You’re Invited… celebrate the Easter Season at St. Andrew:

Lenten Sermon Series—The Wisdom of Unknowing—Sundays, March 1st – April 5th

“Being receptive to the unknown, in all its many facets, allows us to become more open, curious, flexible, and expansive in our lives.”  — Estelle Frankel

To most of us, the unknown is both friend and foe.  At times, it can be a source of paralyzing fear and uncertainty, and at other times it can be a starting point for adventure, creativity, and transformation. How we relate to the unknown is a key element in all personal growth and healing.  The mystery of the unknown is the realm where faith operates. God is the ultimate unknown and unknowable reality, that we are paradoxically invited to know. By tapping into the nature of not knowing, we grow our souls.

Our Lenten services will draw on the poignant music of the Lenten season.  Sermons by Rev. Jan Reynolds draw from insights in The Wisdom of Not Knowing by Estelle Frankel.  Teachings will also be offered by Rev. Bob Conover, Rabbi Steve Finley and Ed Vaughn. We will feature contemporary art focusing on “walking in the unknown.”

Sunday, March 1st — Dinner and Evensong Service

5:00PM Dinner / 6:00PM Service: Featuring vocal soloist Sheila Whitney and Lisa Cole on piano and organ. This is Ash Sunday; we will offer imposition of the ashes.

Thursday, April 9th — Maundy Thursday: Stop in Thursday evening any time between the hours of 5:00PM and 7:30PM for a self-guided “Journey to the Cross.”  Go at your pace and spend some quiet, contemplative time with your Savior. This is a very meaningful worship experience as we celebrate Jesus’ Last Supper and re-imagine the journey to the cross, just as Christian pilgrims have done for centuries. Communion served every quarter hour.

Friday, April 10th—Good Friday Service—3:00PM: A beautiful service of readings and songs from the Taizé’ community in France. Featuring music by John Steiner, a contemplative jazz pianist from San Francisco.

Sunday, April 12th—Easter Sunday Celebration!

Easter Sunrise Service– 6:30AM: Join the Jr. and Sr. High Youth Groups for one of the worship highlights of the year!  They will lead us in a service celebrating the Risen Son!  DRESS WARM and join us on the South Patio.

Easter Resurrection Celebration—9:00AM AND 10:30AM: Easter Sunday is always a great experience at St. Andrew.  Join us for Rev. Jan Reynold’s Easter Message: “We Can See Clearly Now!”With music by The Band, St. Andrew Singers and Doug Bates’ trombone, organ by Lisa Cole and fresh baked muffins after the services.
