St. Andrew's Evangelical Lutheran Church  

Dear saints of St. Andrew’s,

We give thanks to God for all the talented and dedicated leaders serving God in our congregation who have helped guide us through this pandemic. Our Reopening Task Force and Congregational Council have recommended we now reopen St. Andrew’s with limited capacity and some important restrictions. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and follow the guidance of public health experts and our elected officials, and make changes as needed.

Currently, committees and small groups may meet in the fellowship hall or other designated meeting spaces provided they observe physical distance and wear face-coverings. Sign-ins for contact tracing and disinfectant spray devices will be utilized by group leaders as well.

In-person worship will resume on July 5th at 9:30 AM with precautions including face-coverings and physical distance. Please see this list of what to expect. Of course, we are continuing to stream our worship services on Facebook for all those who prefer to be gathered with us that way.

As a congregation we are called to proclaim God’s love and mercy in Jesus Christ in word and deed. We do this in worship, gathering around Word and Sacrament, whether in-person or digitally—we also do this as we care for our most vulnerable neighbors. The pastors beg your patience and understanding as we continually and prayerfully navigate these uncharted waters.

We are yours in Christ,

Pastor Philip Krey

Pastor Joshua Sullivan
