Music takes center stage at St. Andrew Methodist Church on December 14 with the St. Andrew Christmas Festival at 9:30 a.m. and again at 11 a.m. (identical performances) in the Sanctuary. This year’s Christmas Festival features a full orchestra, the Chancel Choir, and the contemporary band, leading the congregation in joyful new arrangements of beloved carols. The morning culminates as the children’s choir leads the congregation in “Let There Be Peace on Earth.” Santa and his reindeer will also make special appearances, posing for photos before and after both performances.  There is no cost!

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 people each weekend for worship services in both a traditional style with the classic pipe organ and a contemporary style with an LED center screen and lighting technology. St. Andrew extends an open invitation for all to be a part of a community ready to embrace faith in Christ that is real, practical, and life changing. Many opportunities are provided to gather on campus and serve locally, regionally, and globally. Through Invite Ministries, St. Andrew’s publishing house, and Beacon of Light, a mental health ministry, St. Andrew offers innovative ways to reach Christians within its congregation and out in the community. The new 300-seat Hasley Chapel provides worship and other gathering opportunities in a scenic and more intimate setting. In 2022 St. Andrew became an independent Methodist Church seeking to live more like Jesus every day and to learn in deeper ways what it means to follow His teachings, live in community, and serve the world. 5801 W.
