Worship
Worship is at the
very heart of the
church's life.
All that the
church is and
does is rooted in
worship.
The community of
faith, gathered
in response to
God's call, is
formed in and
through worship.
Worship is the
principal
influence that
shapes our faith
and is one of the
most visible ways
we express faith.
In worship, the
church is
sustained by the
presence of
Christ through
Word and
Sacrament.
In worship, the
church is joined
to the One who is
its source of
life and is
empowered to
serve God in the
world.
The order of
worship here at
St. Andrews
Presbyterian
Church is born
out of our
understanding
from the Reformed
Tradition, which
places a strong
emphasis upon
scripture,
creative and
relevant
proclamation, and
the sacraments (Baptism and
Communion).
All children are
welcome in
worship.
Everything in
worship moves us
from hearing to
doing.
Hence, worship is
where we ascribe
praise and honor
to God through
music, prayers,
and offerings and
where we
acknowledge God's
presence in our
lives and in our
world through
corporate
affirmations of
faith,
participation in
the sacraments,
and sharing
opportunities for
service in the
church, our local
community, and
the world at
large.
