How exciting that we are able to regather for worship again, at last!  Please note that, Because this virus is so easily aerosolized and infection most frequently occurs through the inhalation of contaminated respiratory droplets, there are several guidelines we must follow in order to stay safe...
  1. All participants are required to wear face masks.  Please bring your own cloth mask if you can, but there is a supply of disposable masks available, if needed.
  2. Make frequent use of the hand sanitizer, located throughout the worship area and building.
  3. Please bring your own lawn chair or blanket for seating.  If there are those without chairs, we will provide sanitized folding chairs for use during the service. 
  4. Physical distance of six feet or more in every direction must be kept by everyone at all times, except that family groups may remain together.
  5. Bathrooms have been sanitized and are available for use.  Adhere to physical distancing requirement and please sanitze after using.  Sanitizing supplies are available in both restrooms.
  6. We will be collecting contact information for all attendees to allow for follow-up ("contact tracing") after the service, should this become necessary.

 

The Collect of the Day for this Sunday:

O God, because without you we are not able to please you, mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
