Dear friends,
This Sunday, the Rev. Linda Faith Chalk will be leading us in worship.
It is with great joy and anticipation that we announce our return to St. Andrew’s this week. After a refreshing summer break, we pray that everyone has had time to rest, recharge, and spend time with loved ones.
Our responsive reading this week is taken from Psalm 149, and is a wonderful way to celebrate our coming back to worship together as the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12: 12-14), and sing praise to our Lord and Saviour! “Sing with your voices; sing also with your hearts. Sing with your mouths; sing also with your conduct.” says St. Augustine in his exposition on the Psalm.
