“Advent”, presented by Fr. Jeff
Join us this Advent for a four-week adult formation series exploring themes of holy waiting, hope, transformation, and joyful expectation.
Each week we’ll reflect on scripture, engage in conversation, and practice simple spiritual disciplines to help us prepare our hearts for Christ’s coming.

On three Wednesday evenings during Advent, we will have a Taizé service in the
church. Take a break from the busyness of the holiday and join us in 40 minutes
of quiet reflection. Taizé is a quiet, meditative service of music, silence, brief
readings, and prayer, which calms body, mind, and spirit.

Our One Word Alternative Bible Study
2025-07-17 16:30, 2025-07-03 16:30
Daughters of the King at St. Andrew’s is hosting an alternative kind of Bible study this summer. All are welcome to join us on Wednesday, July 3 and July 17, at 4:30 p.m. in room 325 to explore the secular to spiritual connection for everyday words.
Using a method from Martha Johnson Bourlakis’ book Our One Word – Creating Spiritual Joy and Depth, we will examine words like ‘faith,’ ‘trust,’ ‘strength,’ and ‘love’ and where they occur in scripture, in hymns, and in our personal encounters. At the July 17 session, Maggie Crispell will make the summary presentation on the word ‘charity.”
No preparation is required, only a curiosity about the impact words have on us and our spiritual practices. Light snacks will be provided.
For additional information, please contact Michele Marini at 814-574-9639 or email Michele at michelemarini@comcast.net.
