Worship

Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church is a welcoming broad Church gathering prayerfully for Holy Eucharist or Morning Prayer at Sunday worship services. We have been offering hybrid services through our livestream Zoom capability since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.

We incorporate elements of ‘high’ church during Holy Eucharist through use of Paten and Chalice, Celebrant’s vesting, and Sanctus Bells. It is ‘low’ church in that we do not process due to the context of our worship space which is a practicing Yoga studio and is compact in size! 

We strongly encourage lay leadership in all aspects of our gatherings including the practice of Wisdom Circle at times in lieu of a sermon by the licensed lay preacher or clergy. Lay lectors offer the lessons and psalms. Lay intercessors lead in the prayers of the people. Gifts of bread and wine are brought forward by members of the congregation. Licensed lay Eucharistic Ministers and Licensed lay Worship leaders provide leadership at Sunday worship. Lay persons provide support as Altar Guild members. The list really does go on…
