During the past several weeks a number of our members developed COVID19 infections and to our knowledge none have had serious disease. Your Task Force continues to monitor our local situation and to keep you informed.
The current Omicron variants appear to be more communicable but the infection is less serious than previous variants. Although the pandemic is not over many believe that it is moving towards an endemic stage similar to the flu which is caused by a virus of the same type.
We have closed the church twice in the past two years. The Health Task Force has met and recommends that we continue with open worship. Masks are always an option and any who are hesitant to gather for in-person worship can join through Facebook. We hope that all have been vaccinated and boosted as appropriate for age. We do request that if you have not been vaccinated that you not attend in person and if you have any symptoms suggestive of COVID, even though you test negative, you not attend sanctuary worship. Also, we hope that if you do become infected you would inform the church office.
We will keep the congregation informed of case numbers by using the guide above.
