In addition, if you have a loved one who has died since November 2017, we invite you to submit their name to be read in church and included in “The Net” that day, too.
To submit a name for the All Saints roll, please contact Judy Baird at jbaird@standrewspolaris.org or 740-548-5112, ext. 3 with the name and date of death of the person you would like to remember, and their relationship to you, no later than Wednesday, Oct. 31.
If your loved one was a member of St. Andrew’s you don’t need to submit their name because we already have the necessary information in our files.

Godly Play
Our Young Saints in pre-school through 5th Grade experience sacred stories, with lessons on the sacraments and liturgy woven throughout the school year, in Godly Play. This year, they will explore some of the New Testament stories of Jesus’ relationship with the people he encountered during his earthly ministry. And they’ll come to know more deeply how those stories are their stories, too; that Jesus is alive today, and desires to be in relationship with them, just as he was with those who walked with him 2,000 years ago.
Middle School Youth
Middle School
Our Middle School students are focusing on some core issues of faith, including the Bible as the inspired word of God, the historic creeds of the Church and how they define what we believe, and what it means to follow Jesus, and live in him as he lives in us.
Adults and high school youth will gather in the Sanctuary on Sundays in September to hear from a series of special guests, before embarking upon a study of spiritual gifts.
Adults & Senior High Youth
Throughout October and most of November, Fr. Shane Tucker will lead us as we examine what Scripture has to say about spiritual gifts, discover our own spiritual gifts, and learn how God may be calling us to use those gifts in service to him and his Church, and in our everyday lives.
Andrew was a simple fisherman, called by God to do a great thing ... to follow Jesus and tell others about him. Here at St. Andrew’s, we embrace Andrew’s calling as our own, and believe our name reflects our mission of “transforming the world through Christ — one heart at a time.” We are excited to offer our community a new Anglicanism for the 21st century — an Anglicanism that embraces Biblical truth, and proclaims the uniqueness of Jesus the Messiah, the only Son of God who has come to redeem the whole world through the power of his transforming love.
We have found the Messiah! Come and see! (John 1:41)
