St. Andrew’s Anglican
As St. Andrew’s continues to explore the ramifications of the Easter season, they take a look this Sunday at something that happened before Easter, at Jesus’ last supper with His disciples. In the face of fast approaching death, what can be taught about life? Where does the betrayal of people’s hopes and dreams really come from, and how is that betrayal faced? This week’s sermon, “Loving the Betrayer,” suggests the possibilities that only become possibilities in the light of resurrection.
St. Andrew’s is at Calle San Lucas 19, a block south of the Carretera in Riberas del Pilar. Worship on Sunday mornings is at 10 a.m., with a time of refreshment, welcome and fellowship in the Garden following the service.
