UPCOMING EVENTS

Prayer for Church Planting

Sundays  |  8:30 a.m. & 10:45 a.m.  |  Andrew Room

As we begin to discern where God is leading St. Andrew’s with regard to church planting, we want to come together and faithfully seek his wisdom and guidance through prayer. Everyone is invited to join us in the Andrew Room 15 minutes before each service for a time of dedicated prayer for church planting.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Mission Trip Info Meeting

Sunday, June 29  |  10:10 a.m.  |  Commons

In January, David Young and Jerry Richardson were invited to join a mission team from Orchard Hills Church, an Anglican congregation in Roanoke, VA, for a week-long trip to the Dominican Republic. For the past 10 years, Orchard Hills has faithfully sent adult teams in January and youth teams in the summer to serve communities there.

During their time in the DR, David and Jerry had the unique opportunity to minister to Haitian refugees living in the country—an experience that resonated deeply given St. Andrew’s ongoing commitment to ministry in Haiti.

They believe this could be a meaningful opportunity for others at St. Andrew’s and would love to share more about their experience. If you’re interested in learning about possibly joining Orchard Hills Church on their next adult mission trip in January 2026, join Jerry and David in the Commons between services on Sunday, June 29.

If you are unable to attend the meeting, but would like more information, please email David Young with the subject line “Dominican Republic.”
