Update from Reopening Taskforce
The Reopening Taskforce is hard at work designing protocols for keeping us all safe as we return to our church building in the coming weeks. I am particularly grateful for the diversity of views, all of which aim to be conservative, practical, and also joyful. I am so looking forward to seeing you in person. I am also committed to all of our safety.
Over the next two weeks, we will be finalizing these new protocols and as we do we’ll be communicating with all of you. Today’s newsletter is the first of what will be a series of announcements related to our return to the church building. To help you with your own planning, I want to share the following two guidelines:
Proof of Vaccination is required for anyone 12 years of age or older for entry into the church building without exception. If you are not vaccinated, we invite you to continue joining our programming and worship services online. If you wish to join us in the building, you will need to show either your Excelsior Pass or your vaccination card and photo ID. If you need help downloading the Excelsior Pass app or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Masks are required for anyone 2 years of age or older at all times while in the building. Your pastors and musicians will also be masked while leading worship in the sanctuary.
I look forward to seeing you soon—in person or on zoom—and to all the ways we will continue our journey together with God’s help.
Peace be with you,
Pastor Will
