He is responsible for all liturgical training and works directly with the rector to determine the liturgical shape of the service.

Senior Warden
Don’t believe the proverb “you can’t go home again”, because sometimes you can. I know, it happened to me. As I approach my older middle age years, I find myself back at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. The place I started my life and the cradle of my Episcopaleanism (is that a word?). St. Andrew’s is different from when I was growing up here. There are new faces and there are faces I knew as a child that have changed through the years, just as mine has. But what has not changed is that this is where the Holy Spirit dwells for me. I hope you experience the love of Christ here, just as I do.
