St. Andrews United Church to begin
Sunday worship services again on October 11th
As a community of faith we continue to try and balance our mission to be inclusive, while meeting the needs
of our diverse community during this time of a world-wide pandemic. Our congregational survey demonstrated
that about ½ of our congregation is anxious to return to our sanctuary for worship and ½ are more comfortable continuing to be the Church outside of the building. So we have decided to offer both in-person and
online worship opportunities, and also to welcome back the Spirit Quest group beginning Oct 11th!
We need to follow NS directives, which will evolve, in order to ensure we keep everyone safe.
People of all ages must fill out an individual form to ensure no one enters with any Covid-19 symptoms.
The form is also for contact tracing, thus meeting the government directive. ( see below )
The following are the regulations we will follow at St Andrew’s:
1) School aged Spirit Quest (SQ) young people will go immediately downstairs to Fullerton Hall for their Christian education program, entering in through the King Street door. SQ members are to wear masks,
sanitize their hands upon arrival and present the SQ leaders with a filled out form.
2) All coming to worship in the sanctuary are asked to enter through the Duke Street Entrance.
Please wear masks and social distance when waiting to enter the building.
3) Inside the Duke Street door, each person is asked to use hand sanitizer and fill out a form.
4) People are asked to wait, in their family bubbles, on the yellow tape markers until it is their turn to meet with the usher. Please keep your outside coat with you.
5) Inside the Sanctuary doors, each person gives the usher their form, and receives a bulletin.
They are then free to find a seat. Please only sit next to people in your bubble.
6) Masks and social distance are required throughout the service.
7) Once worship is over, people are asked to exit through the King St Exit.
8) Spirit Quest members will also exit this way.

It is election week in the area, so Ken H is very involved in the election.
We will have to do our ONLINE worship a little different this week.
The in-person worship service (10 AM Sunday) will be recorded
and posted online (all going well) by Sunday evening.
As always, it can be accessed here on our website.

Meet Shannon MacLean
Hello St Andrews Family!
It is 8 days since I officially began as your minster here at St Andrews.
I have been working hard to get all set up. Already we have tapped two worship services.
The first was to say goodbye to Keith who had loved you and cared for you these past 3 1/2 years.
And the second is my preaching premiere (for you)! It go up on Sunday at 11 AM !
I made you this little (very unprofessional) introduction video since we cannot all get together !
I know it is a little silly, but these times require creativity !
