This ministry is dedicated to improving the lives of our seniors. We provide them with the care, companionship, and resources they need in order to have a fulfilling and joyful life. We believe that every human being has dignity and deserves to be connected to the loving fellowship of the body of Christ. We strive to show them compassion, cherish their sacred stories, and ensure that they always feel supported. One of our annual Agape highlights is the annual carol service which our choir organizes at Christus St. Joseph’s Village in Coppell. In conjunction with the start of advent, the choir and members of St. Andrew's gather to sing carols at St. Christus St. Joseph Village in Coppell. We feel blessed to share the joyful story of Christmas with the residents and staff. Even St. Nicolas makes an appearance, and, with the help of his little elf, hands out candy canes to all the residents. Other ways to participate in Agape ministry: 1. Visit the elderly in your neighborhood who are homebound or feel alone. 2. Take pre-consecrated bread/wine to our homebound and administer Communion to them as a LEV (lay eucharistic minister). 5. Pray for the elderly and homebound. 6. Converse with the elderly and homebound over the phone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59644e4c9f7456b6563e83e5/97ebf000-e371-43d5-b9ff-d883c3de7dc8/Faith+Based+Alliance+2023.jpg Outreach ministries - 4/16 CFBISD Faith-Based Leaders Alliance Our mission is to serve the students, families, and staff of CFBISD by connecting, supporting, and equipping faith-based leaders.

On that day, we all could use a little tender loving care. What better way to experience this love than to honor our teachers who mentor the leaders of tomorrow - teaching them about the past, encouraging them to appreciate the present, and fostering their hope in a better tomorrow. We drop off treats for the teachers at Dave Blair Elementary School as a way to thank them for all they do for our children and our community. #NeverForget https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59644e4c9f7456b6563e83e5/f6d233e2-6fef-4b97-b790-0d7334277c6d/Generic+SOCCER+CLINIC.png Outreach ministries - Soccer Clinic Indoors!

In Christ you break down dividing walls and invite us to belong together. You give more than enough love for binding up broken hearts, mending broken relationships, knitting together our scraps of faith into one communion and fellowship. Teach us, we pray, to see the face of Christ not only in our friends, but also in the faces of strangers and enemies. Rebuke us, we pray, when we choose separation instead of connection, isolation instead of collaboration. Renew us, we pray, for a generous sharing in abundant life with you and with one another, now and for ever.

The authority with which leaders — ordained persons, adults who minister with minors (children and youth), youth in leadership roles, and adults who minister with vulnerable humans — are entrusted, creates an inherent power imbalance in the pastoral relationship. This power imbalance derives from the leadership role and, in the case of clergy, the symbolic authority of an ordained person. Christian leadership is intended to provide occasions for guidance and grace, and its abuse is always and unequivocally wrong.

Since its founding in 1975, this international program has assisted more than 120,000 participants in discovering and nurturing their call to Christian service. EfM helps the faithful encounter the breadth and depth of the Christian tradition and bring it into conversation with their experiences of the world as they study, worship, and engage in theological reflection together. The program invites participants into small, mentored groups that provide the framework for understanding life and shaping actions as Christian faith is deepened. EfM seminar groups meet in local settings and online, and provide a four-year curriculum that develops a theologically informed, reflective, and articulate laity.Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Parish budgets are prepared in light of the pledges received from the members. A pledge is a statement of intent, not a legal obligation. It can be changed at any time.

Not only are potlucks incredibly enjoyable, they actually reflect good theology. Our families show up not to be fed, but to feed others. Our gathering around the table is purpose drive and mission-oriented. There is a true spirit of selfless generosity that reflects the heart of Jesus. We look not only to our own interests but also to the interests of others (Philippians 2:4). We desire not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). We generously offer as much as we can possibly afford to share (2 Corinthians 9:6). When the whole church lives this way, we experience the same phenomenon the early church experienced - “There was not a needy person among them” (Acts 4:34). 2026 May 3 - “Beer, Brats & Bingo” fundraiser June 7 - Pasta themed potluck / Graduates’ Day July 5 - Independence Day themed potluck / Picnic August 2 - “Beer, Brats & Bingo” fundraiser September 6 - Shrimp Boil October 4 - “Beer, Brats & Bingo” fundraiser November 1 - Thanksgiving themed potluck December 6 - Christmas themed potluck 2027 January 3 - “Beer, Brats & Bingo” fundraiser February 7 - Valentine’s themed potluck March 7 - St. Patrick’s themed potluck March 14- Passover Seder Meal potluck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59644e4c9f7456b6563e83e5/472a4e83-ab33-4a1d-9c19-3bfbbc3041b3/TheLunchBunch.png Potluck / LunchBunch - #LunchBunch Every 3rd Sunday we gather together at a local restaurant to share fellowship around the table.

In a time marked by anxiety and polarization, Everlasting Jesusoffers a daily invitation to slow down and reconnect with what is lasting and true. Drawing from the Gospels and writing with his signature warmth, Rick Hamlin shows how the words and actions of Jesus still speak powerfully into the complexity of modern life. Whether it's Jesus crossing cultural lines to speak with a Samaritan woman—offering her, a social outcast, dignity and “living water”—or his call to invest in what matters rather than be ruled by fear and scarcity, each reflection ties Scripture to the concerns of now: social division, information overload, spiritual exhaustion, and the search for authentic connection. Through stories of compassion, resilience, and radical grace, Hamlin explores how Jesus can help us confront prejudice, live generously, and hold on to hope when the world feels unsteady. From the challenge to love those we disagree with to the promise that “you are the light of the world,” this book provides a deep well of encouragement for anyone seeking clarity and purpose. With Scripture-based reflections and thoughtful prompts for personal or group use, Everlasting Jesus will help you renew your faith, reframe your priorities, and simply hear Jesus’s voice above the noise.

These Christian women, both lay and ordained, are strengthened through the discipline of a ‘Rule of Life’, and supported through the companionship of their sisters. Each member of the DOK is at a different stage of their Christian journey – some have just begun and some have been on this path for a long time. However, no matter where they are on their sacred journey, their primary goal is the same – to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others. The diversity of ages strengthens and enriches all our women. Junior DOK members benefit from the discipleship of experienced spiritual mentors, and Senior DOK members are invigorated by the fresh faith and energy of our younger women. Many senior chapters help spread the Kingdom to the next generation by sponsoring and supporting a Junior Daughters chapter at their churches. The name of the DOK chapter here at St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Farmers Branch is: “Chrestotes which in Greek χρηστότης means ‘kindness’. Members of Chrestotes Chapter of DOK: Janet Dawson, Ann Hausmann, Lynn Koutney, Debbie Sharp, Faith Thomas, Rachel Thomas, and JoAnn Zastovnik. Please know that any of our DOK women are happy to speak to you if you are interested in knowing more about the DOK or if you feel called to go through the study sessions required for becoming a member of the DOK.

Surprise us with the wonder and splendor of a new dawn that we may be open to the future with all of its possibilities. Letting go of the timeworn and letting in the timely, may we bring the best of ourselves to this new day. With renewed resilience may we breathe in the expansiveness of Your will for us as we join together beholding a new horizon of hope. This is the now of forever. For His Sake, let us embrace every moment. Amen.
