St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church There is a wonderful place behind St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, where the faithful meet to worship during this time of COVID-19. Florence’s dry and sunny summer and fall weather makes it a wonderful place to hear the Word of God and enter into fellowship with others, while maintaining a six-foot separation.
In peace, one can meditate while walking the Labyrinth or sitting on a bench in the Memorial Garden.
All this is hidden from view at 19th and Tamarack Streets on the east side of Spruce Street, deep in the neighborhood behind the Grocery Outlet Shopping Center.
St. Andrew’s is a good place, a comfortable place, a place �illed with the joy and wonder of being God’s people together on the beautiful Oregon coast. At the heart of the Church is the Gospel of our Lord Jesus, the Christ, and in Him there is peace and joy. At this time our Sunday worship is held at 9:00 AM, outdoors, with masks and appropriate distances. Father Frazer Crocker, (retired, but still serving God and the congregation after sixty years as a priest), is of�iciating, while the Search Committee works to �ind a new Vicar for St. Andrew’s. He also celebrates on Wednesdays at 11:00 AM, inside the church, assisted by Deacon Steve Avery, also retired but very much present!

Heart for the Community Chartered in 1982, Florence United Methodist Church has always had an “outsize” impact in its community. The people who worship in the little building with the steeple on Second and Kingwood are leaders in scores of community organizations – from Habitat for Humanity to the Siuslaw Public Library. Its own sponsored ministry, Free Lunch, a twiceweekly fixture for more than 25 years, has switched gears to provide vouchers for meals at Subway during COVID19 restrictions on use of its buildings. While not meeting in person in our church building since March, Florence UMC is being “church” in new ways, including on-line, on-demand weekly worship and a virtual coffee hour every Sunday on Zoom. The church provides instructional and devotional materials, including video, on the Internet at no cost. There’s even a virtual Vacation Bible School. Florence United Methodist is a proud member of the Reconciling Ministries Network, an international movement within the Methodist Church, to affirm, support and welcome all under the LGBTQIA umbrella. It is truly a church of open minds, open hearts, open doors.
