Covid Policy Update From Pastor Ronnie
/Revised COVID Policy
Based on recent CDC changes in guidelines and the status of COVID in our area, the Long Range Planning Committee has decided that most of our COVID procedures are discontinued. Two exceptions will be that we will continue to do Holy Communion the way we’ve been doing it in the last few months and the Offering/Grace Notes will continue to be collected at the end of the service at the exits.
Masks and hand sanitizer will continue to be available to all at the entrances to worship.
We do have two requests as we move into this next phase.
Please Be Responsible. Make attendance and behavior decisions that are best for you. And as always, if you are not feeling well, please watch worship online and do not risk spreading anything at church.
Please Be Respectful. Some people will wish to continue to wear masks and we encourage them to do so if they like. Others will not wear a mask. Let’s respect people in the decisions which make them feel the most comfortable.
And as always, our policies may change in the future as conditions warrant.
Furthermore, as we’ve stated many times before, Online Worship Ministry is here to stay! The Well Service at 9:45 and the Traditions Service at 11 will continue to be streamed Live online on Facebook.
Morning Glory Early Service Changes: June 6
The early service will return to the Chapel on June 6. We will also shift back to 8:30 AM once we are in the Chapel (so remember to keep coming at 8:15 through the month of May).
Community Dinners will resume in July. We are not ready for covered dish dinners yet, but we will be offering meals again on a Wednesday evening every other month (same night as the Administrative Council Meeting). Always listen out for details in the future.
We look forward to many great things in the life of our church in the days and months ahead.
God is faithful, and we are so very grateful.
Pastor Ronnie
