Rooted in traditional Anglican song, music at St Andrew’s is diverse, and on any given Sunday you may hear dulcimers as well as piano. The organ and choir are always the foundation of all music offered in praise to God at St. Andrew’s.

The parish has a congregation of enthusiastic singers who gladly add their voices, and the mosaic of Anglican chant, classical anthems, world music, gospel, and old favorites creates that “joyful noise” to the glory of God.

In October 2022 we formed a children’s choir for children ages 3-12. Practice takes place after worship on Sundays, 12 - 12:30, in the nave. Our children offer their joyful praises during worship periodically throughout the year. The choir offers the opportunity for children to grow and share their gifts with our church community while building skills in music and singing. Contact Jennie Band for more information.

St. Andrew’s has an array of lay participants in its worship services.

Lay Eucharistic Ministers read the designated (non-Gospel) New Testament passages for each service, lead the congregation in the Prayers of the People, and assist the priest with Holy Communion. Lectors come from the congregation to read from the Old Testament. In addition, there are Lay Eucharistic Visitors who take home communion to those unable to attend services in person. Acolytes of all ages serve as crucifers. Worship at St. Andrew’s is truly a “work of the people.”

Altar Guild members arrive faithfully on Saturdays to set up for Sunday worship, with a careful eye for liturgical seasonal changes. Their duties include putting candles on the altar, setting up a lavabo bowl with purificator and a cruet with water to clean the priest’s hands, and making sure all other liturgical items are ready for Sunday service. For Holy Communion, Guild members bake their own gluten-free “holy bread,” which is very popular with everyone in the parish. We currently offer both the common chalice and individual cups. To labor for the beauty of the liturgy is truly a labor of love.
