Thank you for your thoughtful compliance with this request for the safety of all. Thank you. Thursday, May 13, 2021 9:05 AM Dear Congregation Members: The following are updates to church and worship procedures related to the COVID pandemic that the Church Council adopted at its meeting on May 11, 2021. As the national, state and local thinking evolves, we as a congregation need to do the same. Members have been urging our making modest changes in line with available information in this area. Numerous groups within the church have been looking at this in recent weeks including the Elders, Parish Health, Staff and leadership. All these changes are voluntary. We will continue to have online worship available as well as drive up communion. The current changes include: 1. Access to pews will no longer be blocked with tape. 2. Social distancing will continue to be encouraged. 3. Wiping down of pews with disinfectant between services will cease unless some special circumstance arises. 4. Wearing of masks while singing or attending church in general will be optional. 5. Hand sanitizer will continue to be made available in the Narthex. 6. Bibles and hymnals will be returned to the pews. We thank God for his protection of members during the pandemic. We also want to thank the congregation for all of its pandemic related efforts to keep people safe while attending church in the past. We will continue to monitor the situation and make further updates as is prudent going forward.
