St. Andrew's United Church Council has decided to return to in-person worship
We will be continuing to do online worship at that time as well. We might move to recording the Sunday worship instead of pre-recording the service, which would mean it would be available each Monday evening instead of Sunday AM. We will keep you up to date on this.
Your Council recognizes that any gatherings during a pandemic come with a certain amount of risk, this includes gathering for worship. We also recognize that for many, the social aspect of worship is of vital importance; however, socializing while in the building is not permitted as we must respect 6 foot social distancing. We encourage each person to weigh the risks vs benefits when deciding to come to in-person worship. Worshiping online will continue to be an option for this who decide not to return to worship as of yet.
Council has also decided to follow the NS regulations regarding groups gathering in our space. The NS regulations recently changed allowing social groups to meet again. They now gathering limit with social distancing for meetings and training (indoor and outdoor)
can be 10 people maximum (no matter what size the room or space is). So any group who can abide by this rule can meet.
It is worth mentioning that Spirit Quest is NOT a “group” it is part of our worship so follows the same rules as worship:
Indoor gathering limit with social distancing for faith gatherings, wedding ceremonies and funeral services that are run by a
recognized business or organization - 50% of the venue’s capacity up to 100 people maximum indoors (receptions and visitation
are not permitted). SQ events must socially distance and can be up to 50% of the capacity of the Fullerton Hall.
to in-person worship. Worshiping online will continue to be an option for this who decide not to return to worship as of yet.

St. Andrews has begun in-person Sunday worship again
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 leave their form on the table.They are then free to find a seat.
Bulletins will have been placed on seats. 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 wait for ushers to escort them to the King St Exit.
8) Spirit Quest members will also exit this way.

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 !
