Welcome New Music Director Dave Len Scott


Dave Len Scott began serving as St. Andrew’s new part-time music director on Monday, January 16, 2023. Dave enjoys jazz and gospel music and brings opportunities for us to expand our musical repertoire on Sunday mornings, and possibly create a monthly alternative spiritual offering for the wider community.

He has an extensive background as a professional church musician and performance artist. In San Francisco, he served as Composer and Artist-In-Residence with Calvary Presbyterian Church, as Music Director with Bethany United Methodist Church, and Musician at the prominent Glide Methodist Church. Dave currently serves as Church Organist for St. Luke’s Anglican Church in Sedona, and offers private piano lessons in Flagstaff. He plays piano, organ and trumpet, has toured with Boz Skaggs and Rosemary Clooney, and collaborated with members of the Doobie Brothers for fundraising concerts. Dave is also an accomplished composer and arranger, and has produced several jazz CDs.

Dave‘s personal church upbringing started in the United Church of Christ denomination in his hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan. He earned a B.Mus. at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and a M.Mus. at the University of Northern Colorado-Greeley.

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.

The Chosen – Season 2 Video Discussion Group: Tuesdays thru March 21

Viewing and Sharing Around
“The Chosen” – Season 2
Tuesdays thru March 21, 2023

“The Chosen” is a TV series that presents Jesus through the eyes of those that met him, including: a charismatic fisherman drowning in debt (Simon); a troubled woman wrestling with real demons (Mary Magdalene); a gifted publican ostracized by his family and his people (Matthew); and a religious leader struggling with his beliefs (Nicodemus).

Each Tuesday, you have the choice of gathering in-person in the Parish Hall @ 1:00 to 2:30 pm, or on Zoom from 6:00 to 7:30pm.

We’ll watch an episode of this excellent series together and then share about what we’ve seen.

This is a very different kind of Bible study!

The (hoped-to-be) seven season story of the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth is based on the four gospels PLUS the extensive historic research and creative imagination of American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. It should prove to provoke some very interesting conversations!  If you plan to participate, RSVP using this link:  https://forms.gle/HhtCDMJBAXUiD7Ek6

Your Health & Safety are Important to Us!

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.

Seasonal Celebrations

Daily Readings of the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL)

https://www.dailylectio.net/calendar

dailyLectio.net is a resource designed to help you read the Bible with the church. Each day, it provides in one place the Daily Readings of the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). The RCL has been adopted by numerous church bodies throughout the world as the schedule of biblical passages assigned to be read in their weekly Sunday worship.

The Daily Readings both prepare for and reflect back upon the themes found in these Sunday passages. Using dailyLectio.net will enhance your worship experience by highlighting the connection between Sunday’s texts and other texts with similar themes throughout the Bible. Regular use of dailyLectio.net can also deepen the connection between Sunday worship and the rest of your daily life. Using dailyLectio.net puts you in touch with the cycles of stories and celebrations that carry us through the church’s year.
