Welcome to
St. Andrew Episcopal Church
All are Welcome, and we mean All!
Our congregation is a diverse group:
-
Some are old and some are young.
-
Some are lifelong Episcopalians and some are new to the Episcopal Church.
-
Some have worshiped here their entire life and some not so long.
-
Some are here year round and some are “snow birds.”
But there is one thing we have in common – We love the Lord and love worshiping God and sharing the Eucharist together as the body of Christ.
If you are feeling lonesome, let us walk with you.
If you are feeling lost, let us help you find your way.
If you are feeling blessed, let us share your blessings with you.
Welcome to the Episcopal Church where Christ is King and the Gospel is lived.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Pamela Lenartowicz, Rector
