Hello and Welcome

St. Andrew's is a family-oriented parish that has enjoyed being in Methuen for over 100 years. Our parish is made up of people of all ages - from infants to seniors. Many people have been here since the beginning of the merger between All Saints, Methuen and St. John's, Lawrence (to become St. Andrew's, see history) while others have recently become a part of our parish family. We are made up of people who love God and love the church.

Our Sunday service starts at 9:30 AM and is a Rite Two Holy Eucharist. This is a family service with organ and choir.

To protect our vulnerable brothers and sisters we have a section set apart where it is required for everyone to wear a mask and maintain social distancing.

We have free off street parking in lots to the side and rear of the church and all areas of our building are fully accessible.

We warmly invite you to join us!

Sabbath

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

The last two years have been difficult for us all, and have placed an unusual burden on the Clergy, staff, and volunteers, throughout the long closure and then the effort to provide a safe space for in person worship, it has taken a lot of work by many volunteers and staff to keep going.

Acknowledging this, Bishop Alan has asked all congregations to choose a two week “time out” to spend as an extended Sabbath, during which the church will be closed and no services or business will take place.

The Vestry has chosen the period of Wednesday June 8 through Tuesday June 21 for the St. Andrew’s corporate Sabbath. The office will remain closed, there will be no meetings, no services, and we will not be livestreaming.

I urge you to take advantage of the livestreamed services at the National Cathedral in Washington DC, or at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Boston. Links to both are below, and will be included in the This Sunday email during our Sabbath.

I hope that you will find some rest and restoration during this period. Time to be with God and those we love. Time to smell the flowers. Note that the Rev. Bill will be available for pastoral emergencies as needed. St. Andrew’s will reopen on Tuesday June 21, and we will have regular in-person and livestreamed services on Sunday June 26.

To view the 11:15 AM service at the National Cathedral, go to www.cathedral.org

Scroll down the center of the page to Holy Eucharist. Beneath the picture click on Watch Sunday. It will take you to the site.

To view the 10 AM service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, go to www.stpaulboston.org

It will take you to a registration page. Complete the brief registration. They will send you a link to the service on Zoom.

Faithfully,
Laura Walta, Sr. Warden
