A Reflection for This Moment

A brief pastoral reflection offering guidance, encouragement, and clarity as we navigate this moment in our shared life.

What Is Lent?

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday: 40 days of repentance and renewal, preparing our hearts to grow closer to Jesus before Easter.

The Rev. Michael Singer

A line of Buddhist monks wearing saffron and brown robes walk along an asphalt road, shown from the knees down, their steps calm and deliberate, with bags and flowers hanging at their sides.

Walk for Peace

A journey of peace is unfolding one step at a time. Nearly 20 Buddhist monks are walking from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., carrying a simple message of compassion, unity, and inner peace. Welcomed by supporters across the country and followed worldwide, the monks walk not to protest, but to remind us that peace already lives within each of us—and that even small steps can spark meaningful change.

The Soundings: News from Our Parish

Two youth from St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound stand indoors and speak to the camera about a supply drive supporting Family Promise. They explain the organization’s mission to prevent and end homelessness for families with children and list needed household items. The video invites viewers to donate supplies and drop them off in the Old Parish Hall.

Hope in Action: Youth Supporting Family Promise

St. Andrew’s youth are leading a supply drive for Family Promise, an organization that helps prevent and end homelessness for families with children. We’re collecting household essentials like paper towels, laundry detergent, garbage bags, and cleaning supplies. Donations can be dropped off in the Old Parish Hall.
