Congregational Care"When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?"
Psalm 8:3–4
St. Andrew wants to meet the needs of our congregation in a variety of ways. As we seek to live faithfully in a world that is constantly challenging our schedules, our patience and our skills in so many ways, it is important that we tend to our own well–being.
We strive to serve you and others in our congregation by providing resources and ministries which encourage healthy habits and expressions of care and concern for those who are struggling.
Health Care Team
St. Andrew has formed this new ministry team to explore the opportunities we might have and the gifts and resources available to us through which we might respond to the health and wellness of the members of our congregation.Parish Nurse
