Sunday School
All young people ages pre-K to 5th grade are welcome to join us at 10:30 am for Sunday School in the Old Parish Hall. We will return them to their adults during the Passing of the Peace.
EYC (Youth Group)
Our youth group gathers bi-weekly for fun, fellowship and small groups. Young people come together either at the church or for an adventure somewhere in our community. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for St. Andrew’s youth to have a safe, Christ-centered space where they can have fun with one another.
All are welcome … friends, neighbors and teammates too!
St. Andrew’s Book Club
St. Andrew’s Book Club gathers on the last Monday of each month at 5:30 pm in the Parish Hall. Book selections are emailed to the group, posted on social media and in our weekly e-blast. All are welcome, no commitment necessary!
