The congregation council met for their retreat at the end of February. As part of our discussion it was determined that we would continue to follow CDC guidelines for the safety of our congregation members. Therefore, effective March 1 we will encourage you to care for yourself by wearing a mask as you believe appropriate while participating in activities of the congregation. Worship leaders will discontinue wearing masks while serving communion and in gathering places. If covid numbers increase in our community in the future, the congregation council will assess the current situation and make a recommendation for the congregation at that time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact council members or Pastor Kristine.
