ST. ANDREW'S Episcopal CHURCH
Embedded Files
Welcome
For over 135 years now, St. Andrew's has welcomed people into a community of faith "beside the tracks" in downtown Ayer, Massachusetts. When people describe St. Andrew's they use words like: 'welcome,' 'relaxed,' and 'accepting.' We believe that a church should be a community that embraces the uniqueness of each individual. We welcome and care for all people at every stage of their spiritual journey, and we seek to create opportunities for faith in God to be discovered, renewed and put into action.
Please read our welcome message!
Mission
We seek to grow in faith as individuals and as a community, to glorify God as revealed in Jesus Christ and to nurture those around us. We reach out to share His Word and His Love with all people, especially those in need.
"Will you strive for Justice & Peace, and respect the Dignity of every human being?"
Rooted in the Baptismal Covenant, this promise reminds us that following Christ is lived out through striving for justice and peace and honoring the dignity of every person.
We are delighted to welcome the Rt. Rev. Mary Glasspool, Assisting Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, to St. Andrew’s on Sunday, December 6, the Second Sunday of Advent.
Bishop Glasspool will preside and preach at our 9:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist. During the service, she will also offer the sacraments of Confirmation and Baptism, as well as Reception into the Episcopal Church.
If you are interested in being confirmed, received into the Episcopal Church, or baptized as an adult, please speak with Rev. Mia as soon as possible.
Following worship, Bishop Glasspool will meet with the Vestry and will be invited to tour our In a Manger Nativity Exhibit in the parish hall.
We hope you will join us for this special occasion as we welcome Bishop Glasspool and celebrate together as a parish community.
