A Message on Regathering

Dear friends in Christ,

The diocese has issued updated guidance regarding in-person gathering, specifically regarding when masks are and are not required.  For the time being, masking is optional.  This means increased responsibility is required by all attendees.  If you feel ill or just a "little off" please wear a mask to protect others or better yet, join us via our online platform until you recover to full health.  

Due to online streaming setup, worship BEGINS @ 10am.  Please be seated and ready a few minutes early. 

Enter the Sanctuary through main rear doors, or the sanctuary ramp door if you need an accessible entrance.  All other doors to the building will be locked.

Bathrooms are located down the hall. 
​
While we don't have "assigned or designated" seating, we ask you to respect your fellow worshippers and give each other space as practical. Spread out and relax.

Additionally, we are not sharing physical Peace, so stay in your pew.   Ushers will guide procession to receive Communion, keeping distance from folks in front of you.  Keep your mask on until receiving bread, turn and consume.  

Stay around and visit after the service, as you are able!  It's great to have the chance to see and chat in person!

Online offerings can be made via tithe.ly at:  https://tithe.ly/give?c=1405202

Hope you choose to join us soon!

Resources regarding COVID-19 can be found below.

General Information

Say home if you are sick, even if you think it is just a cold.  To prevent the spread of infection, wear a cloth mask when you go out in public, wash your hands for at least twenty seconds with soap and warm water (don't forget your thumbs!), use 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer if you can't wash your hands, and keep your hands away from your face.

Wash your hands:
  1. After you have been in a public place
  2. After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing (please cover these with your elbow)
  3. After you have come in contact with a dirty surface
  4. As you feel is appropriate given the circumstances

Clean surfaces in your home frequently with an approved disinfectant.  The steps you take to prevent the spread of infection impacts the lives of others.

If you feel you may have Conornavirus (COVID-19), or have come in contact with an individual with a confirmed case, call ahead to your doctor's office before going in for an appointment.  Your doctor will advise you on proper next steps, including the need to quarantine or isolate.

Gracious God, lift up all those who are ill across the country and world, and look upon us as we navigate this difficult time in our country and communities.  Give us grace to be mindful, thoughtful, and gracious to those around us, ill and healthy, and strengthen us as we are challenged with changes for the good of all humankind.
We ask all this in your son's name.  Amen.
