St. Andrew’s Centennial Year

We have been celebrating our centennial all year! We hope you have enjoyed the timeline in the Cloister Gallery, accompanied by historical photo displays. If you have not seen the current display on outreach, be sure to view it before Holy Week begins. The final display, to be mounted after the spring rummage sale on May 11, will focus on parishioners through the years.

We have enjoyed visits from past clergy Kevin Bean and Arrington Chambliss, and we will welcome former assistant rector Marya De Carlen on May 5! Be sure also to save the date for our Roaring Twenties Dinner and Dance on June 29! We have additional special services and events planned. Read more and see other Century Celebration dates here.

Read Kevin Bean’s sermon, delivered November 12
Read Bishop Alan Gates’s sermon, delivered September 8.
