Services

Worship services at St. Andrew’s United Church of Cairo are held every Friday and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. with Holy Communion celebrated the first and third weekend of each month, as well as on many of the festival days of the church.

Friday Service, 10 am

As Egypt is a predominantly Islamic country, Friday is the first day of the weekend.  Therefore, since offices and schools are closed, our Friday worship service is our largest service.  It features piano, organ and special music.  After the service, we have fellowship with coffee and tea served in the Guild Hall.  Often, an Adult Forum or study is presented as a part of our Friday schedule.

Tradition

As an interdenominational and international congregation, our worship encompasses the fullness of Christian traditions. In practice, this means we have Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Reformed features incorporated into our liturgy. And when we share the peace, we walk about and share it with everybody. The rituals of our faith connect us to God’s people through the ages. The experience of worship involves not just our minds, but our whole selves.

When you attend worship at St. Andrew’s, you take your place among the people of God gathered around Word and Sacrament.  Holy Communion is at the heart of our life together.  In Holy Communion the risen Christ comes among us as we hear the Word, and share the bread and cup of the Lord’s Table.  We go forth to live as the body of Christ in the world, sharing the good news through word and deed.
