With 12 active members, and new members being recruited each year, this is a very special calling for the children of St. Andrew's. Led by our very dedicated directress, since 1996, this group never lacks members and is versed in all duties of an acolyte, including crucifer, torch bearers, assisting the priest, etc.




Our Altar Guild Directress schedules six women who work to prepare the sanctuary for the weekly celebration of the Eucharist as well as appropriate polishing/decorating for the major holidays.




The Lay Readers and Eucharistic Ministers, while currently small in number, are extremely dedicated to their service here at St. Andrew's.

 



At St. Andrew's, our music ministry is a major part of the worship service. The Senior choir consists of 8-10 men and women who dedicate their time and talent on a weekly basis, as well as a music director/organist. Along with the "regulars" we are fortunate to have 3-4 young adults who join us at various times during the year. Several members in the choir, and in the congregation, have various musical talents that they very graciously share, including playing the flute, trumpet, recorder, guitar, drums, and more.

At. St. Andrew's we are also blessed to have a Junior Choir that consists of 6-8 children. Once a month St. Andrew's has a Family Service, and the Junior Choir takes the place of the Senior Choir for that particular service. They also sing at other special occasions during the year - Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc.




The Newcomers and Evangelism Committee is charged with organizing and evaluating the needs of St. Andrew's Parish with regards to growth of its membership. Currently there are six dedicated members that are actively pursuing ways to accomplish this growth. They have been studying and preparing for over a year and are now reaching a time that they can put their goals into practice. Recently, some members of the committee attended an "Evangelism in the Small Church" one day conference, sponsored by the Diocese.
