At Saint Andrew, children of all ages are welcome as integral members of the body of Christ, and we welcome the sounds and activity that accompany them! We have children’s Spark activity worksheets for non-readers and readers. The worship service has children’s message time where children gather in front. Plus, there are a few spaces and activities designed for children to experience and participate in worship:

At the doors of the Sanctuary, kids can pick up a busy bag to take into worship. These bags include crayons and paper, a book, blocks or a puzzle, and a foam communion set.

The nursery is available for families with infants and toddlers as an additional space as needed. There are books, toys, rocking chairs, and a changing table.

A Prayground is located at the front of the Sanctuary that is intended for families with infants to early elementary students, recognizing that small kids are often more engaged when they can see what’s going on. Families can enjoy extra floor space for children that may need to stand or move around and soft and quiet toys for busy hand.

AN EASY WAY TO VOLUNTEER AND ASSIST WITH WORSHIP

We have many opportunities each Sunday for assistance with our worship. These include being an assisting minister, usher, greeter, communion server, stream team member, and more. Join a team, set how often you’d like to serve, block out dates you’re unable to serve, and more with Planning Center.  Worship and Music Volunteer form is linked here.

Thursdays at 12:15 pm
Planning to be out of town over the weekend, but don’t want to miss out on worship? Or maybe you just enjoy a more relaxed worship service in our chapel. Our Thursday service is 12:15 pm.  This service will be a shortened version of the upcoming Sunday morning’s service. In approximately 30 minutes, we will gather in community, sing hymns, hear a sermon, celebrate Holy Communion, and be sent out in mission and service to the world. Come and join us!

NOTE: If school is cancelled, Saint Andrew classes & meetings will be also. Check the SALC Facebook page, News Channel 7 or 9 television or websites for closings and cancellations.

All are welcome. Bring whatever hobby you enjoy doing or use the art supplies available in the Activity Room including rubber stamps, acrylic paint, canvases, colored pencils, paint markers, brushes, paper, watercolors, etc. We have a nice collection of books and magazines as well for ideas. Sara Young’s book, “Jesus Calling” sets the intention for the day as we spend time creating.

Our focus this year will be creating cards for the people on our prayer list. Feel free to make cards for your friends, family and others who need some cheer this winter. Pam is happy to stay later into the afternoon and evening if you are not able to attend during the day. Please let her know if you plan to attend in the evening at 715-848-9120.

Think of Art Devotions as a gift for yourself as well as others. God is the Ultimate Creator and giving yourself this time to create provides an opening for your heart to expand and rest in His presence. This is a safe and judgement- free space. All supplies are ready and waiting for you!
