• In light of evidence of increased risk of COVID infection in the community, we are once again encouraging folks to consider wearing masks in worship – especially if they have particular vulnerability concerns.

On the evening of Sunday, July 14, 1900, the newly formed Saint Andrew’s Mission held its first worship service in Ferguson Hall above a storefront on Pendleton Street. Then, five years later, in July 1905, the first worship service took place in the newly-constructed Saint Andrew’s church building. In recognition of those anniversaries (and because we are always looking for a good excuse to eat good food together!), we are holding a covered dish lunch following the 10:30 AM mass this Sunday, July 24. Please plan to join us for worship followed by food and fellowship. Heavenly Ham and beverages will be provided. Side items, salads, and desserts are needed. Please contact Riley Owens with any questions.

A Note from the Rector: As mentioned in The Call last Friday, we are once again encouraging folks to consider wearing masks in worship – especially if they have particular vulnerability concerns – in light of evidence of increased risk of COVID infection in the community.  With that said, after consulting with the vestry at this past Sunday’s meeting, we have decided to proceed with our Summer Potluck Lunch on Sunday – though we encourage everyone to evaluate their own risk levels in deciding whether to attend. Given that we will likely be dealing with varying levels of risk relating to COVID for the foreseeable future, we want to be able to offer meaningful – though optional – fellowship opportunities like this for the parish.  Please feel free to let me – or any member of the vestry – know if you have any questions or concerns.
