Pandemic Updates

The pandemic has disrupted life for all of us. Life looks a little different around here these days, and we are constantly adapting based on ebb and flow of the pandemic. Here is a quick update on where we are at in terms of Covid. Follow us on our Facebook page or Instagram for other updates!

January 2023 Update:
  • As we have moved through this past year of life in this community, we have found that there is energy and excitement in the building. People are eager to connect with one another and enjoy spending time together. We see new faces and visitors just about every week, and encourage folks to get to know one another, to the degree that they feel safe doing so. Although we recognize that the pandemic is still ongoing in some senses, we have settled into a fairly comfortable rhythm of life at the church in spite of it. Most things at our church feel pretty "normal" these days, and we are grateful for that!
  • MASKS: Some folks wear masks and others don't. If you want to wear a mask because of health concerns or out of caution, you are welcome to, and no one will give you a hard time about it. Our pastor wears a mask when he greets people on Sunday mornings, and we try hard to be very understanding of different opinions and needs for safety. We continue to encourage members and guests to visit the CDC's website to see their county-by-county map of Covid infections and view their most up-to-date recommendations. Please make the best decisions for you and your family, based on the CDC's guidance and your risk tolerance.
  • HAND SANITIZER: There are a number of hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the building and we encourage folks to make use of them! Look for them outside of our office, on the way into and out of the sanctuary, and elsewhere. This is one of the best things we can do to keep from sharing germs with one another as we move through the winter season and try to avoid Covid, the flu, and other bugs.
  • WORSHIP: We continue to offer both in-person and virtual worship on Sunday mornings. We highly encourage people who are especially anxious or at risk to attend virtually. You can find us on Facebook Live at 11am on Sunday mornings at this link. We also broadcast on our YouTube channel.
  • If you have any symptoms of illness whatsoever, we encourage you to attend virtually, even if it seems like it is just a cold!
