January 13, 2022 Update from the Re-Gathering Committee

With the continued rise in the number of covid-19 cases on the Vineyard, the Re-Gathering Committee met last Thursday and is making the following recommendations, which are effective as of January 13.   
These recommendations are a continuation of the ones made on January 4th, with the addition of increased distance between households for in-person worship, and the use of previously recorded hymns for the next two weeks, rather than the Choir meeting to record them.
  • Tuesday School is suspended for at least the next two weeks;
  • All meetings will continue to be on zoom for at least the next two weeks;
  • we will continue with the services as they are, with open windows, masks and in-person seating increased to a distance of six feet between households;
  • Coffee Hour remains suspended for at least the next two weeks
  • Choir, Warming Center, 12 Step, and Community Suppers will all continue with masks and distance.
  • The Church will be cleaned after each Sunday service.
  • We will use previously recorded hymns for the next two weeks instead of the Choir gathering to tape them. 
Thank you to the Regathering Committee for your help and input.  Thank you, the Community which is Grace Church, for your understanding, patience, and faithfulness as we continue to live with and manage our response to covid-19.
God bless you,
The Reverend Stephen Harding, Rector
