St. Andrew's Lutheran Church

Good Friday (On church website, Facebook, and church email - posted around noontime) "For God so loved the world..." In this deeply moving service, we gather around the word, music from St. Andrew's soloists and instrumentalists, prayer, and the cross, the central sign of our salvation.   Easter Sunrise Service ( This Sunday April 4 @ 7 AM in person in St. Andrew's outdoor chapel – weather permitting) No need to wear your Easter best (no one was in their Easter best on the first Easter – Jesus was dressed as a gardener – You can look it up in the Gospel of John!), especially with the hour you will be venturing out to join us.  Just bundle up to keep warm at this brief but joyous celebration of the resurrection of the Lord. (You are welcome to remain standing through this brief gathering, bring a lawn chair, or use a chapel bench) Be among the first to hear that Easter proclamation of hope as we gather around scripture, prayer, and Holy Communion

This Week -    Moses & His Travel Companions:  Still Wandering  (and Whining!)                      Exodus 17:1-7 For what are you most thankful for these days? What do we tend to grumble and complain about the most? In what ways does God remind us that he is still in our midst?  We will attempt to tackle these questions and more in our time together.  Hope to see many of you on Wednesday night.

 Included in our time together will be prayer (with an opportunity for you to make prayer requests in the comments section), scripture reading and reflection (with an opportunity for questions in the comments), and updates on our life together as a faith community.  This Week -    Joseph - Wrong Place, Wrong Time                             Genesis 50: 15-21 Who was the favorite in your family?  And if it wasn't you, how did that make you feel?  Were you ever falsely accused of something?  How did you deal with that? Did you ever want to seek revenge?  How did that work out?  Did you ever suffer because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time?    We will attempt to tackle these questions and more in our time together.  Hope to see many of you on Wednesday night.

We also are mindful of the Lord of life who dwells in our hearts even in those seasons when we find ourselves "outside of the temple."
