Pastor Monica Jefferson: St. Andrew UMC Receives Worship Award Amid Pandemic

By Rev. Monica Jefferson

St. Andrew UMC in Florissant has not met for in-person worship since July 2020 because of an actual COVID-19 case in worship. We decided to make our our virtual worship excellent, evangelistic and missional. The congregation continues to thrive and stay connected with each other, new people and most of all the community. I thank God for the congregation, neighbors and the community for worshiping with us. Peace be with you!
