Help us to welcome you properly by doing at least two things.
“Sign-in” when the Fellowship Folder is passed and introduce yourself to
one of the pastors before you leave.
We will be in touch with
you soon, if you give us your address, phone number, or email address. At your
invitation, someone will be pleased to call on you in your
home.
Hints to help you during the service -- The
asterisk (*) in the printed bulletin invites all who are able to stand and
also indicates the time for latecomers to be seated. -- We use “debts”
and “debtors” in the Lord’s Prayer -- We invite all believers to join
us when we are partaking in the Lord’s Supper.
The Apostle's
Creed: When we use the Apostles’ Creed in worship, guests are
sometimes confused by its reference to the “catholic church”. In this
context, the word simply means “universal”, and does not refer to the
Roman Catholic Church.
A moment with the children is a
special part of the worship service for the children of our church family.
Encourage your children to join us up front. If they or you prefer, you
may bring your children and sit with them.
For children during
worship, there are Children’s Bulletins and crayons for 3-6 year olds
and others for the 7 to12 year olds available on both usher’s tables at
the rear of the sanctuary. There is plenty of “Cry Space” both downstairs and in the fellowship hall. Ask
an Usher for assistance.
Child Care during Worship: We
welcome all children to the Worship Service. Children 6 years old and
under may be taken downstairs after the “Moment for Children”.
PLEASE
NOTE: We have a policy that requires parents/guardians to sign in with
your child’s name and your phone number on the classroom door. Please note
your children’s allergies and inform the caregivers in person of the
allergies and any special instructions. We hope you will understand that
this inconvenience is for the protection of your
children.
Listening assistance units are available for use
during worship. These small, personal listening units include a receiver
and a set of earphones, and can be found in the center of the Narthex. An
usher will help. We encourage anyone with impaired hearing to use this
wonderful system.
"Believing and Belonging" Classes are held for interested
new members at various times throughout the year and are publicized in the bulletins and newsletters.
They are held for those who would like to learn (1) more about what we "Believe" as
both Christians and Presbyterians and (2) what it is like to belong to the community of faith at St. Andrew.
