Adult Music Opportunities
St. Andrew’s Music Ministry seeks to proclaim Jesus Christ in worship through music. Opportunities exist for all ages to discover and strengthen God-given musical talents for glorifying our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
You may pre-register for choirs on Sunday mornings in the Sanctuary or you may call Dianne Nash at 651-762-9141. Although we appreciate pre-registrations, you may also register at one of the first rehearsals.
ST. ANDREW'S CHOIR

Volunteer Music at St. Andrew’s Village
Every Sunday at 1:30 p.m. a worship service is sponsored by St. Andrew’s staff for the residents at the Village. We welcome special music, such as a vocal or instrumental solo, duet, or group. We have had “first-timers” and seasoned pros, young to old, family groups and friends all sharing their talents. All you need to do is call Jan Gilbertson to sign up for a particular Sunday. You may do one or two songs. Jan: 651-762-9123.
