Bishop Gafkjen Updated Letter and Mask Information
Friday, August 6, 2021
Dear St. Andrew’s members,
Please take some time to read Bishop Gafkjen’s most recent letter, sent on Thursday, in which he addresses the current Covid situation. Our Bishop’s guidance has been one of our guiding forces as we work through the complexity of Covid as it relates to St. Andrew’s. We also have closely monitored the Covid numbers, which are going up.
The Council has voted to support Bishop Gafkjen’s advice and now require masks for indoor worship as well as no corporate singing. We ask that you also continue to social distance. Our practice of worshipping outdoors on the 2nd and 4th Sundays will continue.We thank you for your support and patience as we all work through this. Please know that we make decisions for the greater good, not for what we might “like” to have, but rather for what we believe to be in the best interest of all, especially the most vulnerable. God is with us through all events. We will get through this with His help.
Peace,
Suzy Henschen
