agapeAgape Dinner

The word "agape" means religious meal shared as a sign of love and fellowship.  In remembrance of the last supper Christ shared with his apostles, St. Andrew's serves an Agape Dinner following our Maundy Thursday Eucharist.  Traditionally our dinner consists of meatless soup, bread, olives, cheese and wine.  If you would like to prepare a soup for our dinner, please contact Martha Iannacone @  
siannaco@nycap.rr.com or 439-9329.


Children's Easter Vigil

From the creation story to the Lord's resurrection, we will tell the story of God's love for his people and celebrate the Easter Eucharist. Join us this Saturday at 11:00 am in Carmichael Hall. A pot luck lunch will follow. Come help us celebrate the risen Lord - ALLELUIA


easter breakfastEaster Breakfast

St. Andrew's will continue its tradition of offering an Easter breakfast between the two Easter morning services again this year.  A continental breakfast will be offered starting at 9 a.m. in Carmichael Hall and ending just before the 10 a.m. service.  Everyone is welcome! Bagels and cream cheese will be served along with juice, tea, and coffee. Donations of  muffins, other breakfast breads, or fruit are welcome. 


Prayer Teams

A prayer team will be offered each Sunday at the back of the church during the 10:00 am communion time. The team will be there to pray with people about their expressed needs. This is a time for prayer for guidance, healing or any other concerns. Please identify your prayer concern and we will pray with you. Your prayer concern is confidential and because we are not counselors, we ask you to state your prayer need briefly. For any questions, please feel free to call Mary White, Rich Angelo or Mary Scott.


Love Kits

It's time for our annual Love Kits collection. These kits of small personal care items are donated to the Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless and given to those using shelters in the Capital area. Items should be placed into a clear sandwich-size baggie. Please include things like: soap; shampoo; comb; tooth paste/brush; band aides; tissues; candy bar., etc. Completed Love Kits can be placed in the basket  provided at the front of the sanctuary - they kits will be collected during March and April and delivered to the Shelter at the end of April. Contact Lee Cameron for further information 489-2487
