Our Mission

Our Mission

The mission of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church is to recognize that we are called, as followers of Jesus, to become authentically human in communion with God, with creation, and with each other; to cultivate this within ourselves through the disciplines of prayer, worship, study, and service, that we might become a people of inquiring and discerning hearts, courageous to will and to persevere in what we are called to do, filled with the knowledge and love of God, and blessed with the gift of joy and wonder at the mystery of creation.

This is the documentary that David talked about in his sermon yesterday. Here is the excerpt in which David talks about this extraordinary man and the documentary about him:

What becomes very clear is that [Rostropovich] was peerless. . . . But it is not his musical genius which makes me want talk about him, but rather the story of his life that was seemingly from beginning to end filled with love.

To watch this man who lived by the strength and power and energy of love. . . . is balm for the soul.
