Worship At Home

Worship is the heart of our mission here at St. Andrew’s. It’s where and how we gather together. It’s how we get the inspiration and the strength to live as faithful followers of Jesus, both personally, as individuals, and communally, as a congregation, serving others in Jesus’s Name.

However, while we are prevented from gathering to worship together, here is a way to worship God in our homes.

Sundays, Liturgy of the Word at 10:30 am See sidebar for this week's hymn.

Beginning this Sunday, Virtual Coffee Hour following the 10:30 service, until 12:00 noon. Grab a cup of your preferred beverage and join in for chat, catching up, connecting with one another.

There are some new options for Sundays. None of them include Holy Communion, of course, since there's no way to do that remotely. But on Sundays at 10:30 am, same links and numbers, Mother Ellen will be offering a Liturgy of the Word, with a homily and Prayers of the People. Spoken, with one hymn; probably about half an hour.

For any of these services, if you need a Prayer Book and do not have one, here is an online version: https://www.bcponline.org/

As an alternative, here is a link to a PDF file of the book.

Also, Bishop Sean will host worship online Sundays at 10:00 am. He will be using Zoom. Anyone can join the service by clicking this link: https://zoom.us/j/857403996

If you want to join by phone instead of video, call 646-876-9923 and use code 857403996#.

A Prayer of Spiritual Communion

In union, O blessed Jesus, with the faithful gathered at every altar of your Church, where your precious Body and Blood are offered this day, we offer you praise and thanksgiving for all your blessings. We believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament, and, since we cannot at this time receive Holy Communion, we pray you to come into our hearts. We unite ourselves with you, and embrace you with all our hearts, our souls, and our minds. Let nothing separate us from you; let us serve you in this life, until by your grace we come to your glorious kingdom and to unending peace. Amen.

Thursday’s Hymn - April 9

Refrain:
God is love, and where true love is
God himself is there.

Here in Christ we gather, love of Christ our calling.
Christ, our love, is with us, gladness be his greeting.
Let us fear and love him, holy God eternal.
Loving him, let each love Christ in one another.

When we Christians gather, members of one Body,
let there be in us no discord but one spirit.
Banished now be anger, strife and every quarrel.
Christ, our God, be always present here among us.

Grant us love’s fulfillment, joy with all the blessed,
when we see your face, O Savior, in its glory.
Shine on us, O purest Light of all creation,
be our bliss while endless ages sing your praises.
