Adult Faith Formation

Fellowship Opportunites

The following Adult Ministries are presently on summer break and will start up again in September: Bookmen, SASSY, WELCA, and Women’s Wednesday in the Word.

Music Ministry

We have a robust music ministry at Saint Andrew, led by our Director of Music, Brian Russell. Our Children’s Music class (6th graders and younger) meets during Sunday School. Our Youth/Adult Choir (7th graders through adults) rehearse on Wednesday evening. We also have a fantastic Handbell Choir (open to 7th graders through adults) which rehearses on Wednesday evenings as well, right before the choir rehearsal.

Everyday Lutherans

Adult Sunday School Class will continue to meet throughout the summer. The class meets each Sunday at 9:50 in the library.

We are currently studying Faith Lens. This is a weekly ELCA bible study connecting world events with the Bible, faith, and everyday life. The study each week is based on the readings for that Sunday. There is no preparation needed and class is open to all interested adults. Below is the link to the material we are using. You can sign up for a weekly e-mail if you would like.
