Eastertide | St. Andrew's on the Sound

As we come to the end of our program year at St. Andrew's On-the-Sound, we take a moment to reflect on the many wonderful blessings that have come our way during this Easter season. It is a time for us to slow down, to appreciate the beauty of the world around us, and to remember the importance of our faith.

During this time, we pause and think about all the special things that have happened in our church over the past year. We are so proud of the children and adults who have participated and helped throughout the year. They have shown us what it means to be kind, loving, and faithful.

We will have a blast at Vacation Bible School!

As we look ahead to the summer months, we are excited to be planning for vacation bible school. This year, we will learn about different people from around the world, and how God loves each and every one of us, no matter who we are or where we come from. Please bring the kids and help out if you can, to make "Who's My Neighbor?" fun and nurturing to our kids during the month of July! We will start each day in the Old Parish Hall at 9:45am, right before the 10am Sunday worship service. We will leave for the day at 11:30.

If you would like to join our amazing team of adult leaders for VBS, email Caroline at [email protected]

Experience Lebanon Chapel, or connect with friends at the 10am service!

As we transition to our summer schedule, we are happy to offer worship services at both Mt. Lebanon Chapel and at our church. Lebanon is a peaceful place, surrounded by the beauty of nature, in our neighboring Airlie Gardens. It's a wonderful spot to feel close to God and to find a sense of peace and calm.

May we all be inspired by the love and kindness of those around us, and may we continue to grow in faith as we journey together.

Our name says a lot about us: St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound. While not overlooking Wrightsville Sound, we are close enough to the beach that our basic attitude is pretty laid back. We can’t help but feel that we track a little sand into the church whenever we enter. Our worship is traditional, but relaxed; our focus is on living our faith as God’s family in this place. Young families with kids, retirees, and folks in between find a comfortable home here.

Bring your faith and your doubts, your experience and your questions, and, above all, your hopes. There is comfort and joy in our community as share in worship, fellowship, learning, and service.

Our namesake, St. Andrew was the first evangelist and came to Jesus trusting him as his teacher. Andrew wanted to learn, to know God, and to understand Jesus as Messiah.

We gather together in worship as we rejoice, pray, and contemplate the wonder of God. Our worship is best described as traditional and relaxed. Please do not worry about what to wear and when to stand up; after all Jesus wore sandals and we do too.

At St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound we do not tell you what to believe. You are invited into the journey at whatever place you are in your life. We are all sharing this journey together.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). We could as easily translate this as “where your money is…” and not miss the mark. When we give to support St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound we are helping to secure a place where our hearts feel at home. Everything we are as a loving community, our worship, our study, our service, and our play is founded on what we give together.

Come and see what God is doing in 2023

We are rediscovering what it is like for “two or three to gather” and we are rediscovering what it is to worship, study, and play together. We are grateful for those who support this church by their presence Sunday to Sunday, and we invite others to join us again. One of the sentiments I hear most often these days is, “It’s better when we’re together.”

As we move forward into 2023, we can only do so with your continued support...Click to find out more.
