Lenten Worship
Wednesdays, February 18-March 25; 12:15 and 6:15 pm

Broken and Beloved – Stories of God’s Steadfast Love
Midweek Lenten Service Theme 
“The Lord is near to the broken-hearted, and saves the crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

Throughout our lives, we often face the reality that two opposite things can be true at the same time. Martin Luther said that we are simultaneously saint and sinner. Two different things, opposites, are both true at the same time. This Lent, you are invited to reflect upon on the theme “Broken and Beloved – Stories of God’s Steadfast Love.” You will consider biblical characters who embody various experiences of brokenness and beloved-ness. You will wonder about how these characters speak to your own experiences. You will be invited to consider how brokenness and beloved-ness are a part of your own life experiences, and you will be reminded that amid all the different things that can be true at the same time, one thing is a constant – the steadfast love of God.

At Saint Andrew, children of all ages are welcome as integral members of the body of Christ, and we welcome the sounds and activity that accompany them! We have children’s Spark activity worksheets for non-readers and readers. The worship service has children’s message time where children gather in front. Plus, there are a few spaces and activities designed for children to experience and participate in worship:

At the doors of the Sanctuary, kids can pick up a busy bag to take into worship. These bags include crayons and paper, a book, blocks or a puzzle, and a foam communion set.

The nursery is available for families with infants and toddlers as an additional space as needed. There are books, toys, rocking chairs, and a changing table.

A Prayground is located at the front of the Sanctuary that is intended for families with infants to early elementary students, recognizing that small kids are often more engaged when they can see what’s going on. Families can enjoy extra floor space for children that may need to stand or move around and soft and quiet toys for busy hand.
