Worship Services Moved Online Due to COVID-19 Precautions
March 11, 2020: Worship services at St. Andrew have been suspended as of the March 9th session meeting. We're not closed! We're simply hoping to avoid the transmission of the novel coronavirus in our area by limiting exposure, particularly to the most vulnerable among us. Read the latest here, and check back often for updates (see link above).
But we're still here, still praying, still singing, still being a community. We're a family, and we'll continue to be here for each other in this trying and tense time. In the coming days, we'll be offering suggestions and opportunities to continue to act as a community, as well as fact-based information and ideas on how to love and protect each other, and the greater community we serve. More is on the way, so stay tuned and stay safe!
