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.

The Rosary — History, Meaning, and Making
Join us for a special Sunday Forum exploring the Rosary—its origins in early Christian prayer and the ways it has been shaped and re-imagined across traditions, including Catholic and Anglican practice.
Through history, symbolism, and guided reflection, we’ll look at how the Anglican Rosary supports personal prayer and meditation, and how its rhythm and structure can deepen our spiritual life.
As part of the forum, and in preparation for Lent, participants will be invited to create their own Anglican Rosary to take home. Materials are provided, and no prior experience is needed.
This forum is intended for adults and older youth and is not recommended for young children.
Sunday, February 15th after coffee hour (11:15 AM)
