Fellowship
Fellowship has always been an important part of the Church. Jesus and his disciples were accused of being gluttons for attending so many dinner parties, the travelers on the road to Emmaus only recognized Jesus when he broke bread, and the early church gathered to share a meal together every day. What we do at the dinner table is connected to what we do at the communion table and that is why St. Andrew Presbyterian Church takes fellowship so seriously.
Faith & Food On the third Sunday of the month, the congregation gathers for a covered dish dinner and to hear someone from a ministry in the community talk about how that ministry has helped them grow in faith. The topics vary from mentoring at-risk children to the spirituality of aging and from forgiveness to hospital visitation. We invite you to bring a dish to share and join us as we grow in faith around the dinner table. If there is a speaker or a topic that you would like to hear, please send an email and let us know.
Wedding & Baby Showers Weddings and the births are exciting times in the life of the Church and the Presbyterian Women of St. Andrew want to make sure that young families get all the help they can to start out right. Showers help the church celebrate with the new family and let them know that the church is there to help when they need it.
Seasonal Events About once a quarter, the church gathers together for recreation and fellowship. We invite you to join us for Trunk-or-Treat, the Live Nativity, the Easter Egg Hunt, and Summer Splash. Check the Calendar for the next event.
Celebrating John Calvin’s Birthday John Calvin, the theological father of Presbyterianism, would have turned 500 years old in 2009. On November 1 & 2, we are celebrating his birthday with a lecture series by the Rev. Don McKim, author of several books including Presbyterian Questions, Presbyterian Answers and Introducing the Reformed Tradition. As Calvin turns 500, Rev. McKim will help us understand why we are still talking about him today and why his theology still matters. For more information about this series, visit the event page.
