Contemporary

Our praise team leads the worship for the Contemporary service Sundays at 9:00 a.m.  We regularly include guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, percussion, violin and singers.  The music selection ranges from current Christian songs to more traditional hymns that have been reset to a contemporary feel.

 

 

We are always looking for talented musicians who have an interest in contemporary Christian music.  If you're a guitarist, bassist, singer... or if you enjoy working with video, lights and sound, e-mail William Winterton at wwinterton@standrewspres.com and ask how you can get involved.

 

 

Tea to Go Small Group and others : prepared Welcome Baskets for Refugee Families

Two friends took a welcome basket to a Palestinian refugee family who had recently arrived in Tucson. The dad shared that their greatest need was for a wheelchair for his mother. Our friend had one in his garage and we delivered it several days later. It’s amazing how smiles, charades, drawing pictures, and laughter help bridge the communication gap.

A couple prepared a welcome basket for another Palestinian refugee family… a grandmother, daughter, and two children. The refugees enjoyed the visit from the Americans. A picture puzzle had been included in the basket and the children started it and all had fun working on it together.

The Tea to Go small group prepared a welcome basket and delivered it to an Iraqi family. They were warmly welcomed, served chai tea and cookies, and had a nice visit thanks to the translator who happened to be visiting them. They learned that the mom sews beautifully, but had no sewing machine. God provided one through a church member. When it was taken for service and repair, the shop donated their time and services. When the group delivered it to the family, they were so pleased.
