Minister of Music, Doris Merrick
Music is very important to the liturgy and the Eucharistic
celebration at St. Andrew's Church. Both Sunday services feature music.
At the 10:00 service our dedicated choir of some twelve to fifteen voices
leads the congregation in singing Christian hymns, the sung parts of the
liturgy, the weekly psalm and one or more anthems. The choir is dedicated
to making music a vibrant part of the weekly worship experience and deepen
our community fellowship. A portion of the choir expenses is offset by contributions
to the Friends of St. Andrew's Music. Funds received are used to support
the varied music program and activities throughout the year.
The choir would welcome additional singers to their musical
family. The current members are a great group of people and we have a
number of fun community and church activities in addition to the hard
work. We would be pleased to have a chance to expand our membership. If
you are interested in joining, or even exploring membership, please see
the Minister of Music, Doris Merrick, or any choir member. You may also
send email to music@standrewschurch.org

Brotherhood of St. Andrew
- Call 908 464-4875 for more information.
The Brotherhood is an international ministry of men within the Anglican
Communion that was incorporated by an Act of the U. S. Congress, signed
May 30, 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt. That Act states, “The
sole object of said corporation shall be the spread of Christ’s
Kingdom among men.” Any baptized Christian may become a member of
the Brotherhood and it is the counterpart to Daughters of the King.
In 2004 a Chapter was formed at our Parish, one of four Chapters in the
Diocese. We have had five meetings in all, two of which were organizational.
We meet monthly for the express purpose of prayer, study, and service.
Presently we are fourteen members strong and growing. Our last breakfast
meeting event attracted approximately 30 individuals and two men became
members.
To date we have undertaken the painting of the Sacristy Hall, the upstairs
hall, and the foyer/vestibule at the entrance to the Blue Door. We are
working with other Chapter representatives to begin forming an Assembly
that would be only the fourth Assembly in our Priory, covering three states
and six Dioceses.
We anticipate undertaking a study of James Hillman’s book “The
Force of Character and the Lasting Life,” in 2005 and welcome all
men who are interested in deepening their spiritual life with other men.
