Education

Nourish your spirit by continuing to learn about God’s Word and discussing it with your fellow congregants. St. Andrew’s has programs for all ages, including Sunday school, adult Bible study, Canonical classes, and a small library of written spiritual resources. Visit the websites linked below to learn more about the Episcopal Missionary Church, 1928 Book of Common Prayer, and the Daily Offices.

Sunday School

Sunday School for children of all ages is held each Sunday morning at 10:30 during worship services. Young people of high school age are also welcome to attend the 9:00 Bible Study. A nursery is provided for the very young.

Bible Study in-person at St. Andrews and online

Adult Bible Study is held each Sunday morning at 9:00. The class is led by Rev. David Ivester and lay reader, Jerry Leckie. The group has been studying the Bible in depth, and the discussions are lively and intense. No question is off-limits, and all are free to express their opinions. The group has named itself “The Corinthians,” as it seems that human nature hasn’t changed much since the days when Paul was forming the church. Join us as we share in acquiring a deeper knowledge of the Bible and the word of God through study, laughter, love of our Lord and of one another.  

Canonical Classes in-person at St. Andrews and online

Lay Reader, Mark De Spain, hosts a series of studies each Wednesday evening at 4:30. The focus of canonical class is the Old Testament, especially how God has worked in history to ensure the realization of the plan of Salvation that culminated in the birth, life and death of Jesus Christ who is the propitiation to God for the sins of the world. The study is followed at 5:30 with a lite supper and fellowship. All are welcome to attend.

Instructions for joining a Google Meet meeting:

You can join a meeting via phone, tablet or PC. You do not need a Google account to join a meeting, but it might facilitate the process. When you click on the link you will get a window that will show your camera view and give you the opportunity to change microphones and/or speakers. Usually the default options are fine, but if there is an issue once you join you can change them from “inside” the meeting window.

Generally, it is recommended that if you join a meeting online that you try to connect 5 to 10 minutes before the start so if there are issues we will not use up class time to resolve them.

Note: please mute your microphone before joining the meeting to avoid unintended distractions. You can un-mute your mic anytime during the meeting if you wish to join in the conversation. If you have to leave the meeting for any reason, there is a “rejoin” button if you leave the app window up. Otherwise you can start the “join” process over.

Continuing review of the “join meeting” window: to the right of your camera view will be a button that says either “Ask to join” or “Join now.” You get the “Ask” button if you open the link on St. Andrew’s website, and you get the “Join” button if you join from the invitation in this email. Either one is fine, but if you get the “Ask” button it may be a few moments before you are allowed to enter, since the host has to provide access. Another reason to join a few minutes early. Do not select the “Present” button as that is a different type of meeting.
