Music

Thomas E. James

Director of Music Ministries

We welcome singers and instrumentalists of all ages who are interested in participating in our Music Ministries.
Our ministry requires us to make a commitment to:
weekly rehearsals & Sunday liturgy,
punctuality and discipline in support of one another and
of our community's prayer and worship.

We need your help!

God gave each of us many gifts-and like all gifts, they're meant to be shared. So why not get involved with St. Andrew's Music Ministry?
Because our music ministry at St. Andrew's involves ongoing liturgical, musical and spiritual formation, you will experience a greater connection and understanding of the liturgy.
If you play any instruments (like guitar, trumpet, flute, violin, etc.), we need your help, too!

¡Necesitamos su ayuda!

Dios nos ha dado muchos talentos- y como todo regalo del Señor, debemos compartirlos con los demás. Si esto es así, ¿por qué no se anima a ser parte del ministerio de música de la iglesia de San Andrés?
Los ensayos se realizan cada martes a las 7:30 p.m. en la iglesia (usar la puerta que da hacia norte).
Debido a que el ministerio de música comprende formación litúrgica, musical y spiritual, usted sentirá una mayor conexión con la liturgia y una mejor comprensión de la misma.
Si usted toca algún instrumento como: guitarra, trompeta, flauta, violín, etc. nosotros necesitamos su ayuda también en este aspecto.
