Returning to the Building

Dear Friends,

I am so looking forward to seeing some of you here at church this coming Sunday!

As some of us return to the sanctuary for Sunday worship we’ll all be taking a gradual approach. Later this week, you will receive an email detailing the four stages of the building’s reopening plan. Obviously, we hope to move through these stages quickly, but safety and reality will be our guide.

I appreciate that this may feel overly cautious to some, and I hope you will join us in caring for those with the greatest need and concern at this time. In addition to proof of vaccination and mask wearing, we are also keeping our total time in the building to less than one hour, and the length of the service to less than 45 minutes. We are excited to open our sanctuary again, but please note that—for the time—there will be no access to other parts of the building including the downstairs, kitchen, or bathrooms.

Joining us in the sanctuary is for anyone 12 years of age or older with proof of vaccination. For families with children under the age of 12 who would like to gather with other families, we invite you to join us in the chapel where we’ll engage with the worship service, and one another, together. If you’re interested in joining with your children, please let me know as we are monitoring attendance in this room.

And for those of you still most comfortable at home, please know that you will always be welcome right where you are. The upgrades to our technology are for you and we’re making adjustments as we go to make sure we all stay together wherever we are.

Be well this day,
Pastor Will
