Further Information on Worship at St. Andrew's in the Time of Pandemic
The Diocese has approved our plan to worship in the church nave. Presently, we are limited to 25 family units in the nave, unless we use the narthex as overflow space. Whether indoor or out, service through the Summer is at 9 am. Also, we will continue to broadcast our services via Facebook and Zoom. If you cannot attend, or do not feel safe, I will make arrangements to bring Communion to you at home or for you to receive private Communion here at church. We are following all CDC, State, and Diocesan guidelines to keep all of us safe. Please contact the parish office or Fr. Daniel to schedule a time.
