St. Andrew’s Advent Adventure invites the community to experience the Serenity Trail and Outdoor Chapel in a whole new way—by night. Along the trail, guests encounter figures like Abraham, Jesse, Nathan, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Archangel Gabriel, each sharing how their stories connect to the coming of Christ. The journey concludes with a joyful Christmas celebration and holiday sing-along in Farmer Hall.

The Witness Stones Project is a Connecticut-based nonprofit that uncovers and shares the personal histories of enslaved individuals who shaped local communities, installing commemorative plaques at sites where they lived, worked, or worshiped. St. Andrew's partnered with the John Deacon Grave House to research, remember and honor Cate, an enslaved woman, in the place where she lived and worked in the hope of catalyzing empathy, healing and justice. 

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of women’s ordination in the Episcopal Church, St. Andrew’s welcomed the community for a screening of The Philadelphia Eleven. This moving documentary recounts the stories of women who answered God’s call against all odds, showing how faith, sacrifice, and collective action can bring about lasting change.

Over the course of a year, St. Andrew’s led two cohorts through the 11-session Sacred Ground curriculum on racial justice, healing, and reconciliation. Through honest dialogue, shared learning, and spiritual reflection, participants explored the realities of racism and the hope of healing. The experience fostered community, deepened understanding, and planted seeds of justice and love.
