SUMMARY:St. Andrew Launches New Traditional Service 11am
DESCRIPTION:Anticipating record-high attendance this fall\, St. Andrew adds
   a new service rooted in tradition while expanding programming \n   St. A
 ndrew Methodist Church will add a new Sunday morning traditional service i
 n the Hasley Chapel\, beginning on Sunday\, Sept. 22\, 2024\, at 11 a.m.\,
  increasing the number of St. Andrew services to five: three traditional a
 nd two contemporary services with in-person and online options. Additional
 ly\, the church has expanded its programming\, from a new young adults’ mi
 nistry to The Second Act – a thriving and rapidly growing ministry for ret
 irees – providing ways for all ages to connect and become involved. \n“Our
  new traditional service along with expanded programming will help us serv
 e our growing congregation with multiple\, outstanding options for worship
  and ways for all ages to enjoy fellowship and find community\,” said Rev.
  Arthur Jones\, senior pastor\, St. Andrew Methodist Church. “Establishing
  a Sunday morning traditional service in the Hasley Chapel was one of our
  goals following its construction\, and it is exciting to see it become a
  reality.” \nOpened in August 2023\, the 300-seat Hasley Chapel was built
  in honor of St. Andrew’s late founding pastor Robert Hasley\, who had lon
 g wished for a “chapel in the woods\,” reminiscent of churches in his Arka
 nsas hometown. The chapel\, already home to St. Andrew’s Saturday evening
  traditional service\, is unique for its panoramic views of lush trees and
  a creek below\, which provide a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. Wo
 rshippers at the new Sunday morning service will also benefit from this sc
 enic setting and closeness to nature while focusing on the church’s tradit
 ional roots\, including liturgy and song with organ\, hymns\, and classica
 l choral song from a vocal ensemble. \n“As families head back to school an
 d establish routines this fall\, St. Andrew anticipates record numbers ret
 urning to church\, and we are thrilled to be able to provide a new sacred
  and reverent worship experience\, which will not only help us accommodate
  growth but also meet an increasing desire for more traditional worship\,”
  continued Rev. Jones. “It is no secret that we live in a complex and chal
 lenging society\, where reality can often be hard to distinguish. Many\, e
 specially young families with children\, are seeking the structure\, stabi
 lity\, and comfort a traditional service can provide. This is a service th
 at will help you root your family in the unchanging tradition and customs
  of the historical church in a timeless worship experience – one that will
  not only be rich in meaning but also soul-stirring. Join us.” \nBeginning
  September 22\, the five St. Andrew services are: 5:30 p.m. traditional Sa
 turday and 11 a.m. traditional Sunday\, both in Hasley Chapel\; 9:30 tradi
 tional Sunday and 11 a.m. contemporary Sunday\, both in the sanctuary\; an
 d 9:30 contemporary Sunday in Smith Worship Center. \n# # # \n St. Andrew
  Methodist Church \, founded in 1986\, is located on 21.2 acres in Plano\,
  Texas\, and has more than 7\,000 members. The church hosts over 2\,000 pe
 ople each weekend for worship services in both a traditional style with th
