Dear Friends, We will be looking at our mission statement for the next few months in these columns. Last month we looked at the fact that we value fellowship here at St. Andrew. Our statement begins with this intention: We intend to provide opportunities for people to know and care for one another.
The next intention is this: Worship and celebrate life in ways that are meaningful and satisfying, and which glorify God. We have declared that one of our intentions is to make worship central to who we are as the people of God. Worship is defined as giving God what is due to Him.
Worship is the act of acknowledging that God is the author of life, that God is the one who continues life, and it is God who will save us from the destructive nature of this world. As such, we need to lift the name of God and Jesus in our individual lives and in our corporate lives
