Whether you are at the beginning of your spiritual journey, somewhere in the middle, or returning to your journey after time away— all are welcome at St. Andrew’s.
St. Andrew’s has two different buildings in Glenwood, MD on Rt. 97: the historic Union Chapel and the newer Parish House. Each building is home to worship services and has its own parking area. People come from Glenwood, Lisbon, Glenelg, West Friendship, Cooksville, Woodbine and beyond.
You can learn a lot about what the community values by perusing this website and our Facebook page. When you come to worship, let the person handing out bulletins (the usher or greeter) know that you are visiting. We are glad to welcome you to worship, and we expect visitors!
WHAT TO EXPECT
Welcome! If you are visiting us for the first time, let us offer an especially warm welcome. We pray that your time at worship draws you nearer to God and is a blessing to you, as your presence is a blessing to us.
Please pick up a worship bulletin for your household members as you enter. You may also access Sunday bulletins via Facebook, and the bulletin for each coming Sunday will also be available in our weekly e-news. Let the greeter know that you’re visiting, we have a gift for you!
We offer Holy Eucharist at all our services in both bread and wine. All are welcome to receive during communion. If you do not wish to receive either the bread or wine, cross your arms across your chest and you will receive a blessing. Intinction (dipping the bread into the wine chalice) is not permitted.
We offer two different worship experiences in two different spaces. The 8 a.m. service in the historic Union Chapel is a quiet, contemplative, traditional service without music.
The 9 a.m. service is held in the Parish House just down the road. This service offers a blend of the traditional and contemporary, with music offerings featuring our Chancel Choir, a piano, and congregational singing. This service is livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube.
