St. Andrews Presbyterian Church

St. Andrews is excited to announce the first ever Welcoming Wednesdays!  We anticipate both summer visitors and year round Benzie residents will join church members to celebrate what makes this area special.

From 5:30-7:30pm, our Wednesday evening schedule will include: Welcoming and Games on the Green; Picnic Supper and Presentation in Edwards Hall; Outdoors Vespers in the Glen, Dessert and informal Conversation with our speaker.  Special activities for children are provided.  This time of playing, learning, eating and worship is open to everyone, of all ages, free of charge.  Mark your calendars, bring a friend, and help us make this new program a summer success!
