120 Years of St Andrew's
St Andrew’s began in 1906, as a small church of a few dozen people meeting together to know more about Jesus and to make Jesus known to others. 120 years later, we still have the same purpose. On our anniversary, we want to celebrate God’s goodness to us over so many years and resolve to continue to serve Jesus and proclaim him as Lord and Saviour.
Join Us As We Celebrate
We begin our 120th celebrations with a wine tasting event in our beautiful heritage-listed church building on Saturday, 11 April at 5pm.
Join us for a special anniversary service as we reflect, give thanks, and pray for the years ahead on Saturday, 25 April at 5pm.
You’re invited to dinner with our church family as we continue with our 120th celebrations on Saturday, 25 April at 6:30pm.
A Thanksgiving Gift
When our church was consecrated in 1906, the first sermon preached at St Andrew’s was from John 4:37-38. Jesus said to his followers, “the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labour.” Christians hear the gospel of Jesus through the faithful labour of others. In turn, we are to labour so that others can hear the gospel. St Andrew’s wants to be a community that faithfully sows, using the resources that God has given us, so that others may reap in hearing the good news of Jesus.
For our anniversary, we invite you to contribute a thanksgiving gift so that gospel ministry can continue at St Andrew’s in years to come. This gift will go towards much needed renovations in the:
- Life Centre Basement
- Heritage-listed Church (interior renovations, including the bell tower)
- Old Vicarage (interior renovations)
The gift will also be used for our church CARE Fund to support church members in emergency need and to bless our church mission partners, so they can continue to serve and bless many people across our city and the world. We seek to raise a minimum of 6 million dollars (at least 40% to be used for the CARE Fund and given to our mission partners).
If you have any questions, please contact our Executive Director, Bianca Tang: bianca@standrews.org.hk
At our anniversary, we remember that everything is from Jesus and for Jesus.
