Anniversaries

Stations of the Cross

This Friday evening will be last opportunity to experience the Stations of the Cross prayer service until next Lent. All are invited to come recreate Jesus' journey with the cross beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Palm Sunday

St. Andrew's and St. Vincent DePaul will again come together to bless palms and share worship on this holy day. Plan to be at St. Andrew's at 10:30 to gather. The service will begin at 10:45 a.m. at the Hubbard Sanctuary at the College of St. Rose (959 Madison Avenue). Child care will be provided at St. Andrew's beginning at 10:30 for those parents who do not wish to take their children down the street to the blessing of the palms. Following the joint blessing our congregation will process back to St. Andrew's for the rest of the service. Sunday School will begin at 11. The Choir will meet for rehearsal at 9:45.

Sunday March 28th following the 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. services the newly renovated and reorganized Gerber Library will be open for tours! Come browse and borrow a book from our shelves. The Gerber Library contains over 1,000 books. There are classics of religious history, modern novels, biographies, Bibles and a large reference section. All are welcome to sign-out a book for at home reading.
