Acolytes
Acolytes perform ceremonial duties during the 10:30 a.m. service on Sunday morning and at special seasonal services. They carry crosses and torches, light candles, and assist the priests at the altar. St. Andrew’s is proud to have the youth of our parish participate in worship with such responsibilities. Training sessions are scheduled throughout the year as needed and on an individual basis.

Nursery
The nursery is open Sunday mornings 9 am to noon for children newborn to age 3. It is staffed by paid professionals who have completed Safe Church training and a background check. 

Children's Chapel
We have expanded our program to include recreation on the playground. In fact, we will meet there on Sundays beginning at 10:15 am. Lessons will be based on Bill Gordh's "Building A Children's Chapel One Story at a Time ", as well as the readings from the Episcopal Liturgical calendar. We like to treat our Children's Chapel as a 'one-room schoolhouse' where all children aged 3 - 5th grade learn together, the older ones helping the younger ones to understand God's abundant love for them. To that end, recreation on the playground will be followed by Bible story time and a craft with children returning to the church to join their parents for communion. A small snack will also be provided. Parents are always welcome to participate in Children's Chapel.
