Outdoor In-Person Worship begins this week

With the blessing of our church Council, the Pandemic Task Force, Worship Team, Membership Team, and Property Team are making plans to resume in-person worship outdoors next Sunday, July 4 at 10 am at church. We will continue livestreaming the service for those not yet ready to return to in-person services.

Masks will be required for those who attend in-person, regardless of vaccination status, as a way of keeping the most vulnerable among us safe. (Remember, those under 12 cannot yet be vaccinated and are increasingly more vulnerable to the disease, as are those who could not be vaccinated for health reasons and those who have certain preexisting conditions.)

Participants are asked to bring their favorite folding chair, sunscreen, and an umbrella (in case of inclement weather). Holy Communion will be offered using prepackaged elements.

We will not immediately resume offering refreshments after service, but plan to do so as we become more comfortable.

If all goes well, we will continue with outdoor services through July and August and hope to return to in-person worship in the sanctuary around September 12. These plans are tentative and we ask for your patience and flexibility as we move forward with our regathering process.
