Please note:
- If you have a fever or other symptoms common to COVID-19, you may not attend. Please see a medical professional to be tested for the virus, and call Fr. Herman for prayer, anointing, and communion.
- In keeping with the advice of the medical community, if you are age 65 or over, or if you have an underlying condition that increases your risk of contracting COVID-19, we encourage you to strongly consider your own health condition to decide whether to stay home.
- If you are uncomfortable with attending church at this point, please follow your own conscience. Also, if you would like to have Confession and receive communion at the church by appointment, please contact Fr. Herman.
- Please bring your own mask as they will be required at all times when in the Church. The Church will supply a mask upon arrival to anyone who may have forgotten to bring one.
- The pews have been marked for seating. Please follow the directions of the ushers.
- All service books and other materials have been removed from the pews. For services other than the Divine Liturgy, the appropriate text will be provided either by internet link or as an email attachment. For the Divine Liturgy, please bring your own liturgy book if you use one.
- Offering trays will not be passed during services. A Stewardship and Offering ‘Drop Off’ sign and basket have been placed in the main foyer for this purpose.
- No hugging, handshakes, or kissing should occur, for your own safety and that of others.
- After each service we will be cleaning and disinfecting the Church.
We look forward to seeing you back in church at St. Andrew's!
Here are the steps to sign up to attend services:
NEW! We are making an adjustment in how we sign up for services and count our attendees. Since couples and families will sit together, we should be thinking in terms of “units” instead of individuals.
The arrangement of our seating allows for up to three individuals to be considered one seating unit, so when you sign up, please choose your quantity as follows:
Many of you have already attended and know the extent of the seating available; please be realistic when choosing your seating quantity. This will allow us to receive more accurately the highest number of faithful while still maintaining safe distancing.

The arrangement of our seating allows for up to three individuals to be considered one seating unit, so when you sign up, please choose your quantity as follows:
- 1-3 people = 1 unit (If you have 2 small children with 2 adults, you may be 1 unit; please consider your own situation)
- 4-6 people = 2 units
- 7-9 people = 2 units, if you will all sit in a single pew; otherwise you are 3 units.
- Etc.
Many of you have already attended and know the extent of the seating available; please be realistic when choosing your seating quantity. This will allow us to receive more accurately the highest number of faithful while still maintaining safe distancing.
