Gaelic music for harp and voice interspersed in a lovely Celtic worship service, followed by a Gaelic Concert.
St. Andrew’s is home to the only ongoing Celtic worship experience in the greater Springfield area. We offer this service on at 5 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month (except July and August).
The hour-long worship experience features prayers and music from the British Isles, including materials from the Iona and Northumbria communities. Regardless of whether the prayers and songs are ancient or contemporary, each one reflects a Celtic spirit and many times will incorporate images from the natural world. Although the service is in English, we sprinkle in some Gaelic phrases and chants from time to time. The worship space is serene as participants are enveloped by candlelight. Holy Communion is celebrated and all are welcome to receive the gifts from God’s Table.
