Message to St. Andrew's United Church Family from Reverend Gregory Darjes and the Church Board

                Dear Friends of St Andrew’s United Church
The staff and board of St Andrew’s are doing whatever we can to comply with the directions from both government and church authorities to be safe during this time. This means that the church building is closed for all purposes and staff are working from home.
This compliance is prudent and necessary but does create some difficulties in terms of serving the full needs of a congregation and providing the required funding for maintenance and salaries. Therefore we are asking our staff to find alternative ways to be available for ministry, and our congregation to find ways to financially support this ministry.
For those who are on PAR ( pre-authorized remittance) your offering will continue as before with a monthly deduction. For those who contribute through offering envelopes or other direct means ( cash or check), we need to find alternatives.
What we are suggesting is that you (as you are able) either send a check to St Andrew’s ( address below) or have a check (not cash) available to be picked up at your home at a pre-arranged designated time and place so as to avoid direct contact.
If you have any questions or concerns about this or any matter related to the church please feel free to contact Linda Ashby ( 250-616-3656) who will do her best to get the answer that you need.
We want to use this time to be present to one another and to be creative as we look to a revitalized future. Thank you for who you are as the people of the “Way” in Nanaimo’s Old City Quarter.
Our heartfelt blessings to you.
Greg
