St. Andrew’s Daily Cycle of Prayer

Acknowledging our Relationship with Indigenous People of the Land
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Yavapai, Hualapai, Havasupai, Apache, Hopi, Navajo, and Ancient Peoples as the original inhabitants of the land and their role as custodians of this land given to them by our one and only Creator God. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside indigenous people for reconciliation and justice as we live into our Baptismal Covenant and respect the dignity of every person.
A Word from Our Interim Rector
Pastoral Calling
When I first started ordained ministry over forty years ago, it was expected that clergy would make regular home visits to parishioners. As a curate, my rector gave me a notebook with everyone’s address and I was expected to ring a certain number of doorbells every day—unannounced!
Maybe those days are gone, but I still believe that there is no better way to connect with parishioners than to spend some one-on-one time with them either in their home, at their workplace, or over a meal.
So I am asking your help in helping me in this important part of my ministry. I do not intend to intrude, rather to get to know you better as well as get your input about how the church can do a better job of meeting your needs.
So here is how it works: There will be a calendar at coffee hour each Sunday with available dates for the coming weeks. Just put your name and email next to a date and I will contact you before our visit time. If you would prefer, I will be glad to take you out to lunch—my treat!
You can also always contact me directly by email or phone (sedonabishop[at]gmail[dot]com, or 602.826-0316) especially if you are looking for another convenient time than those listed.
I’ve already had the pleasure of visiting many of you at home, but I know I have a long way to go!
I look forward to getting to know ALL of you better!
Walking a Labyrinth
Walking a labyrinth is an ancient spiritual tradition that invites each person’s quiet individual experience. There is no prescribed religious rite or activity. For some people the walk is a metaphoric pilgrimage. For others it provides peace, healing, or spiritual insight. Read more here.
Your Health & Safety are Important to Us!
We are diligent about maintaining a healthy environment for all worshippers, staff, and volunteers. Following diocesan and church guidelines, St. Andrew’s leadership has/is:
- Installed new UV air scrubber systems and MERV 16 filtration to purify air and surfaces continuously
- Provide social distancing seating if requested
- Masks optional for all worshippers
- Offer hand sanitizer throughout the sanctuary and in restrooms
- Provide cleaning and disinfection by a professional team prior to weekend services

Welcome to The Episcopal Church!
As Episcopalians, we are followers of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We strive to love our neighbors as ourselves and respect the dignity of every person.
The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, and traces its heritage to the beginnings of Christianity.
Our liturgy retains ancient structure and traditions, and is celebrated in many languages.
We welcome men and women, married or celibate, to be ordained as bishops, priests, and deacons.
We believe in amendment of life, the forgiveness of sin, and life everlasting.
Lay people exercise a vital role in the governance and ministry of our Church.
We uphold the Bible and worship with the Book of Common Prayer.
