February/March 2021 Newsletter

The last eight weeks have been challenging for our parish family. We’ve had some members who have had COVID and we’ve had several members whose family and friends have had COVID. Some St. Andrews members have lost friends or family members to the disease.

We also still miss seeing each other in person and I miss being able to visit older members in their homes and in hospitals and rehab centers.

The good news is, however, that several of our members have received at least one dose of the vaccine and others are scheduled to receive the vaccine soon.

During the pandemic we also have experienced some significant financial challenges. We have made some key adjustments on the expense side and are working diligently on the revenue side. Our vestry has an ambitious fundraising plan. We also are forming a working group to recommend to the vestry ways we can re-envision how we minister to the community. Finally, we are beginning to collaborate regionally with all the Lockport and Lake Ontario churches to find ways to support each other in ministry. I am confident that God will lead us into new and exciting things for many years to come.
In all ways, the virus has significantly impacted our lives in community. We are a resurrection people. New life emerges out of all dark days.
