Hi. I’m Joanna. Welcome to fellow journeyers
on the path of faith and life.
As minister of St. Andrew’s, it is my privilege
to work with men and women, girls and boys of
all ages and backgrounds, who seek to translate
timeless messages of divine love into practical
actions for our time and place.
I’m glad you’re exploring our new website. It’s
one way of introducing the life and people of
our congregation. We invite you to join us for
any of the activities, which you read about on
this site.
My job is to accompany people on their spiritual
journeys. What an awesome privilege that is!
As we seek to apply the teachings and example of
Jesus to the world of today, there are both huge
challenges and times of great joy. Sometimes
people seek comfort and support from the
Creator, as we try to deal effectively and
faithfully with losses, disappointments or
difficult interpersonal situations. Sometimes
we rejoice in opportunities before us, as we
gaze into the eyes of a newborn, sing our joy at
a Christmas concert or assist in preparing a
supper for people in need.
God offers daily reminders that none of us does
the walk of life alone, that we are upheld,
guided and strengthened by the divine spirit, in
whose love we are rooted. Scripture,
experiences, traditions and prayer ground our
thinking, decisions and actions, as we continue
the centuries-long task of fostering peace,
justice and the well being of all in God’s
creation.
As for getting to know me, this page will tell
you about my background. However,
probably the best way is to come and meet me. I
meet with people in group activities, weekly
worship and individual visits. If you would
like to speak with me, please call: 745-2722 or
