The willingness of members to be part of our weekly worship experiences is what makes it all happen. The ministry team meets monthly with the Pastor, Deacon, and Music Director to provide feedback and input for the planning of worship for the months ahead. The team aids in the selection of liturgies for the various church season, works on choir/bell schedules and recruitment, helps in the planning of special services, manages the replacement and distribution of hymnals and handles other related issues involving the worship life of St. Andrew. For more information about Worship Ministry Team, contact Bill Logan.
