Your input is requested

Bishop Coadjutor Survey is live!

As the search committee works to find the best possible candidate to lead our diocese, your opinions are vital. An online survey, that includes seven questions and should take no more than 10 minutes to complete, is available by clicking the link below.

The link will be live through Friday, June 25. Individual responses to this anonymous survey will be kept strictly confidential and will be used collectively to prepare a profile of the diocese. The committee greatly appreciates your time and your prayerful responses.

Friday Fun Facts ...
Narthex
The narthex is an architectural element typical of early Christian and Byzantine basilicas and churches consisting of the entrance or lobby area, located at the west end of the nave, opposite the church's main altar.

The difference between vestibule and narthex ...

is that vestibule is (architecture) a passage, hall or room, such as a lobby, between the outer door and the interior of a building while narthex is (architecture) a western vestibule leading to the nave in some (especially orthodox) christian churches.
July and August

Ushers and Lectors


Please consider to serve as an usher or a lector for a Sunday or two in July or August. Sign up sheets have been placed in the narthex or you may contact Robin, our parish administrator, by clicking the link below. Mother Michelle will provide training if this ministry is new to you.


Bible Studies @ St. Andrew's
Women's Bible Study

Fridays at 10:00 a.m.
Kimberly Whipple guides our summer study of Paul's Letter to the Romans. The book of Romans tells us about God, who He is and what He has done. It tells us of Jesus Christ, what His death accomplished. It tells us about ourselves, what we were like without Christ and who we are after trusting in Christ.
Men's Bible Study

Tuesdays at 8:30 a.m.
This week continue exploring the Book of Daniel. This old testament book is about how God shows His everlasting wisdom, power, and faithfulness through one of Israel's greatest prophets. Fr. Chris gray is the facilitator of this study.



TWO SPECIAL EVENTS on JULY 4th

First ... sadly, we will say 'God be with you' (goodbye) to two long time parish families:
The Rev. Cappy Warner
Carol & Nathan Forrester

We will be honoring their ministry among us at St. Andrew's and ask God's blessing upon them -- that they might bloom and flourish in their new communities. A reception will follow in the Chapter House.
Second ... July 4th Sunday promises to be a grand worship experience. Whether joining us in person or on-line, this liturgy will delight and fill you with patriotic pride! We will welcome two guest musicians, Kathie Hayes and Seth Wertz. Kathie is a member of Ring Sarasota and has performed as a featured ringer in national handbell events. Seth is well known to the St. Andrew’s community, having served as Minister of Music here 2014-2018. Bells, organ, piano, we will have it all!

Prelude music will include Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing (traditional) and Variations on My Country Tis of Thee (arr. Kevin McChesney) our postlude will be John Philip Sousa’s famous Liberty Bell March.
