Daily Doxology
We are encouraging every member and friend of St. Andrew’s to set an alarm on your phone or at home for 6:00 pm each evening to sing or say the Doxology – Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow – as a way of being in solidarity with one another as a community of faith and with those throughout our city, our nation and our world. This will be an expression of our communion with one another.
Online Communication
We will provide regular updates, as well as resources for spiritual growth and worship on our website and social media outlets. If you are not already a member of our Facebook group, please consider joining it. We will also be calling our parishioners who do not have access to these forms of communication. We’ve also created a private Facebook group, “St. Andrew’s Congregation Conversations” just for our members and friends.
