New Summer Worship Hours

karen — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 06:24:38 +0000

July 4th is the kick-off for our Summer Worship services

For the months of July and August, Saint Andrew is offering two distinctly different worship services: Sunday mornings at 8:00 AM, we have a Communion Service, which will be a quiet service of about forty minutes focused on personal reflection, discernment, scriptures, and the Lord’s Supper. A Blended Service on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM will combine aspects of our contemporary Praise Experience worship service with a more Traditional worship service, where Communion is offered to all believers on the first Sunday of every month. Childcare is available!

And don’t forget about Vacation Bible School! Please come and join us for BAOBAB BLAST! VBS Week is July 11th – 15th. More information can be found here.

Church Open for All Services and Programs on Saturday and Sunday

rynzelle — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:23:09 +0000

Dear friends,

The snowfall this past week and a half has been quite amazing. It has given us all time at home and in our neighborhoods. The piles of snow will linger for a good long time, indeed.

I’m hoping that you are digging out and ready to relieve some cabin fever by now. The church lot is plowed magnificently and the Trustees have cleared the walks into church. The youth are meeting for Broken Bean Cafe on Saturday evening at 7:30 pm. We’re hoping for a huge turnout. The music and food combination in the fellowship hall provide a great social atmosphere for high schoolers and middle school youth. All are welcome.

Because we missed communion both last Sunday and in January, the Session has authorized the Lord’s Supper for both services on Sunday morning. New Song will be singing. Plus, Sunday School will be at full tilt in between the services. Come visit with your friends and be present when we praise God together in the sanctuary. It’s a good way to get out and to get going again.

Finally, do let us know if there are folks with any needs. Our deacons have been checking in with folks in their zones to see if they are doing okay. If you know of someone who is stuck or needing some encouragement or assistance, let us know so that we can reach out.

Peace to you,

Pastor Dave

Activities Cancelled This Evening — Wednesday, Feb. 10th

rynzelle — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:20:12 +0000

Friends,

St. Andrew Church and Office are closed today due to inclement weather. Therefore, all activities for this evening are cancelled. Please call the church office and/or check this website for updates.

Blessings and peace to you all.

Sunday Home Worship

standrew — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 11:53:17 +0000

Friends,

Since we are not gathering for worship on Sunday, I am attaching an order of worship with a brief meditation Sunday Home Worship Feb-07-2010 so that you might gather your family together for worship in your home, or for you to read and enjoy for yourself.

A reminder to you of upcoming events. We are having a pancake supper as a fundraiser for the Youth Mission Trip on Wednesday, February 17th. The meal will be between 5 and 6:45. Usually this kind of a dinner would fall on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday), but we want to encourage our congregation to participate in the Ash Wednesday Service which will be held also on that Wednesday evening, so we ask that you come support the youth and also participate in the service at 7:00 pm. We will start Lent at 7 after a good meal!

We are pleased to have 100 persons participating in the Unbinding Your Heart Lent Event which will begin next weekend with small groups, worship services and daily devotions for persons to do. If you haven’t signed up and would like to participate, email Polly Frank or Pastor Jessica. Send along questions that you may have for them as well.

Because we were not able to have services today, we were unable to receive our Souper Bowl of Caring offering. Please share this with the youth for their work with the homeless of DC in the Teens Opposing Poverty (TOP), ministry. Ten percent of the offering will be used in Haiti aid. Also, please give a double portion of your offering next week as you are able, since we were not able to receive an offering this week.

Blessings on you. Keep one another in your calls and prayers. Keep safe. And on this Super Bowl Sunday, Go Saints!

Pastor Dave

SERVICES CANCELLED for 2/7/2010

standrew — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:26:40 +0000

With historic snow fall upon us, we are CANCELLING all Sunday activities at St. Andrew. So, there will be NO worship services or Sunday School. We do encourage you to create Sanctuary in your homes this Sunday with family and/or personal devotion. Pastor Dave will send out and make available via the church website a simple liturgy and the sermon for Sunday. Perhaps, you may find your Sanctuary near the hearth, around your home table or in the quiet place of your favorite chair this Sunday. Blessings to you and your family in finding ways to connect with our God in worship, prayer and in Word.

We are also CANCELLING the Unbinding your Heart Leader Training. Reminder: We are still signing people up for Unbinding Your Heart, our church-wide Lenten, Small group program. Please contact the church office or speak with Pastors Dave and Jessica or Chairperson, Polly Frank, about getting connected to one of the groups forming. Groups are forming on Sunday mornings and afternoons, Wednesday evenings, a group in Leesburg and even a men’s group meeting Saturday mornings at the Purcellville Family Restaurant.

Sunday afternoon’s Youth Super Bowl Party is also CANCELLED. The Souper Bowl of Caring Collection to benefit Teens Opposing Poverty is postponed until next week, Feb. 14^th.

May God surround you with the peace, hope and love that may warm you this cold, windy and snowy weekend and keep you safe!

Pastors Dave and Jessica
