"It is in Dying That We Are Born to Eternal Life” (Ezekiel 37:1-14) - August 8, 2021

Make Me An Instrument – The Peace Prayer for Post-Moderns

Hatred. Injury. Doubt. Despair. Darkness. Sadness. We don’t have to look very far to see how these struggles play out every day in our world—and how, every day, we find ourselves in the very midst of such struggles. We live in a world of un-peace. Such un-peace often makes us want to retreat from the world in fear and self-preservation. But what if we lived as those who are called to be instruments of peace, redeeming and transforming whatever spaces and places we happen to be in—and whatever people happen to be there? Join us for this world-changing summer sermon series inspired by St. Francis’ famous “Peace Prayer.” Learn how to train your soul to look outward, to move boldly toward the un-peace of the world, and to bring love, forgiveness, faith, hope, light and joy wherever there is need.

Welcome home. You belong here. At St. Andrew, we embrace Jesus’ message that God loves everyone and affirm that all persons are of sacred worth. We are proud to celebrate diversity as we work to live our vision of radical hospitality. We welcome people of every age, race and gender identity; diverse nationalities, ethnicities, and sexual orientations; any family structure, economic reality, physical and mental ability, education and faith history. While there are differences among us, we can love alike though we may not think alike. You are invited to join this nurturing community on a faith journey toward greater love, understanding and mutual respect.
