St. Andrew's Episcopal Church: So Much More

So Much More

It is Monday morning and as happens nearly every Monday, the guild hall is filled with artists. Part of our mission at St. Andrew's is to reach out to our community and make our facility available to groups that need a place to meet. Groups that use our building are the Girl Scouts of America, Narcotics Anonymous, a yoga group, and the art guild. It is so nice that they make use of our facility.

Now, if we could just get them to come to services on Sunday!

Peace,
Fr. Fred

Welcome to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church! Please join us for worship (Holy Eucharist Rite II) at 9:15 a.m. any Sunday. Coffee and conversation in the Fellowship Hall follow. We are located on Highway 14 North in Chariton just south of the main entrance to the Lucas County Health Center.

Our congregation is a member of the world-wide Anglican Communion, of which the Church of England is the mother church. We are a member parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Iowa and the Episcopal Church, USA.

The Episcopal Church strives to live by the message of Christ, in which there are no outcasts and all are welcome. We cherish diversity. Walking a middle way between Roman Catholicism and Protestant traditions, we are a sacramental and worship-oriented church that promotes thoughtful debate about what God is calling us to do and serious consideration of how best to be followers of Christ.

The center of our common life is the altar where the Eucharist (Holy Communion) is celebrated every Sunday. We invite to the Lord's Table all baptized persons without regard to denominational affiliation who confess the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.
