Pointing to Jesus
John the Baptist's ministry was all about pointing people to Jesus. Whether preparing the way for the Messiah or declaring, "There He is. Follow Him!" John's life reminds us that faithful ministry is never about ourselves—it is about leading others to Christ. May our worship, service, and daily lives point others to the Lamb of God.

Pilgrimage Reflections from the Portuguese Coastal Camino
This summer, my daughter Jennifer and I joined seventeen fellow pilgrims on the Portuguese Coastal Route of the Camino de Santiago. Over eight days and 104 miles, we prayed, walked, and shared life together as strangers who quickly became a community. Although we all sought the same destination—Santiago de Compostela—I came with a different hope: to remain open to whatever the Camino and the Spirit might reveal about my life and my relationship with God.

Help our children grow in faith.
Each Sunday during the program year, St. Andrew's children discover God's love through stories, prayer, and caring adults who walk alongside them in faith. One of the greatest gifts a child can receive is knowing another trusted adult in the church knows their name, listens to them, and cares.
