Notes for visiting preachers

Morning Worship loosely follows what might be called the normal reformed pattern. This is by no means a rigid pattern, and worship leaders are encouraged to vary the order and presentation of their services to enhance the worship experience.  Drama and poetry are welcome variations.

The Hymn Book mainly used is Rejoice and Sing and Complete Mission Praise is also available.  With advance warning other hymns can be printed on the order of service.

St Andrew’s usually has several children attending morning worship who enjoy participating in the Children’s Address.  If there are no children present, the adults are content in being God’s Children – so a Children’s Address is not out of place.
