Andover Community Church
A Spirit-filled community sharing the good news of Jesus Christ
in the Anglican tradition.
WELCOME GUESTS
Our service is "three streamed" - meaning you'll see elements of traditional church (sacraments, vestments, liturgy), charismatic practice (the raising of hands in worship, and expectancy on the Spirit to bless and speak), and evangelical (emphasis on the good news as presented primarily in the scripture stories of Jesus) - see here for more about the church.
Children are dismissed for Godly play after the opening music and returned at the Peace to share communion with their families.
If you'd like to make an appointment with one of the clergy, indicate that on the welcome card and slip it into the offertory plates at the rear of the church.
Fellowship following.
Come as you are.
RECEIVING COMMUNION
All baptized persons are invited to the Lord's Table to receive Communion.
Wafers are best received in the palm, with one hand crossed over the other. Wine and juice are available for sipping or intinction (dipping) for wine, and dipping only for juice. Communion of one kind (bread only) is appropriate.
Those not desiring to receive Communion, or those who have yet to be baptized, can indicate that to the priest with arms crossed over the chest and the priest will give a blessing.

ONLINE LITURGICAL CALANDER
If you'd like to keep up with the church lectionary, celebrations of saints, and other Anglican highlights, why no check out the online liturgical calendar HERE.
GIVING OFFERINGS AND TITHES
Unlike many churches, we don't "pass the plate" as we gather. There are two ways to give alms towards the ministry at our church
-
Online Giving. Online giving is easy and safe and - best of all - reoccurring giving can be set up so you don't need to scramble on Sunday mornings writing your offering check. Regular giving and special offerings include weekly offerings/tithes and the Priest Discretionary Fund, Give here.
-
Offering Plates. Offering plates are located on both aisles as you enter the church. All monies go towards the general running of the plant, while other monies can be designated and marked with envelopes provided.

PHOTO DUMP
If you have a smart phone and take pictures of church events, we'd like to encourage you to send your best pics to a google drive, where they will be collected and considered for next years' 2025 Highlights to be viewed at the annual meeting.
You won't need to worry about cropping them, or making them look pretty. We'll do all that from our end.
If you - and when you - have a picture(s) to share, upload it to HERE.
