Safety Update

UPDATE April 10, 2023

Covid numbers are currently low, so masks are now optional until further notice, except on May 7th when CB Beal returns. CB requires that everyone wear a KN95 mask during the service and their workshop. The choir may now sing without masks if they are symptom free on Sunday morning, except on May 7th when they, and everyone, will be wearing KN95 masks. Air purifiers will continue to be used. As always, if you have a headache, cough, runny nose, sore throat, muscle aches, or fever, we ask you to join us for worship on Zoom to ensure the health and safety of our beloved community. Questions about our protocols? Please contact Jennie or Liz.

Due to a downward trend in Covid numbers coffee hour is back! We continue to recommend mask wearing for a few more weeks to ensure the health and safety of our beloved community. In addition to masking we will have air purifiers running to create a safe space for all to gather.
We will continue to carefully monitor COVID and other public health concerns in our area and will announce through the Mid-Week Update and this web page if any of these safety protocols are changed.

COVID wastewater numbers are rising precipitously along with flu and RSV.  We are reinstating a mask requirement when in the building to attend Sunday services and church activities. Refreshments may not be served or consumed in the building during Coffee Hour or at other times until further notice. All are invited to gather for conversation after the service, but masks must stay in place. In addition to masking we will have air purifiers running to create a safe space for all to gather.

We will continue to carefully monitor COVID and other public health concerns in our area and will announce through the Mid-Week Update and this web page if any of these safety protocols are changed.

Refreshments may be served and consumed in the building during Coffee Hour or at other times. We will have windows open (weather permitting) and air purifiers running to create a safe space for all to gather.
