Dear friends,
Please come to worship at Saint Andrew's as we celebrate the Seventh Sunday of Easter at 9:30 a.m. in person and online via YouTube. We would love for you to join us!

Saint Andrew's offers worship services in-person and online, trusting in the Holy Spirit that unites us whether we are in the same place. Sunday worship is livestreamed via the link below, which also connects to the recorded service for those unable to attend on Sunday morning.




Links to online worship and worship materials are available in our weekly worship and newsletter emails, on our website http://www.standrewsofsmithtown.org and on our Facebook page, St. Andrew's Lutheran Church of Smithtown.



Communion at Saint Andrew's

We celebrate the Lord's Supper from the altar.

The Pastor places an individual wafer into the communicant's hand and the worship assistant offers a pre-filled single-use communion cup of wine.

Communion is continuous; please follow the ushers' guidance on when to come forward.

After receiving communion we drop the disposable, recyclable communion cups into the bowl offered by the usher.

Please remember:
  • you may take either the bread, or the wine, or both elements
  • if you prefer a pre-packaged communion set, please let the ushers know when you come into worship
  • those not communing are invited to receive a blessing

He Was Taken Up Into Heaven, Hanna-Cheriyan Varghese
batik, Princeton Theological Seminary

Unifying God, help us to find common ground with others. Help us to understand that we can be unified in your love without forcing those different from us to conform to our way of being, thinking, or acting. Help us to stay curious and open to the movement of your Spirit that pulls us into relationships of love and justice, even with those we least expect. Amen.
