Dear
Friends,
I
hope and pray that this finds you and your loved ones safe and well in the
midst of this difficult time. I miss
you, and I miss having the opportunity to visit you in your homes. I am so grateful to the parishioners who are
carrying out our phone ministry, and I hope that hearing from them has been a
source of blessing and comfort to you. Even
when we are not able to gather in person, we are still the Church. Each of you is still a beloved, precious
child of God. I am holding you in my
prayers.
We
do not yet know when the church building will be able to reopen. I anticipate that it will not be for a number
of weeks. We are awaiting a set of
specific guidelines from our diocese about how best to keep our parishioners
safe. That is my top priority: your safety.
Once the diocesan guidelines come out, our Health and Safety Officer
Joel Duregger will lead the staff and vestry in implementing those guidelines
at St. Andrew’s; and then we will prayerfully and carefully decide when to
reopen the building.
Every
blessing to each of you, on this Trinity Sunday and always.
Anne
