May 20 Covid Update

In order to fulfill our commitment to keep everyone as safe as we can in this current increase of covid-19, the Re-gathering Committee has made the following recommendations, effective immediately:
Please note that we have done all these successfully before.

General:  Masks continue to be required of everyone in the building

8:00 Service:  
•    No changes, except for the option/possibility of holding the service outdoors after Memorial Day if the 8am congregation wants to.

10:00am Service:  
•    Seating in every other pew;
•    Windows open during services
•    Communion will be in one kind only and we are going back to the individually wrapped wafers
•    I will bring the sacrament to those present (i.e. do not come to the Communion rail)
•    Coffee Hour in the Parish Hall is suspended for now; instead, coffee and hot water for tea will be available outside, by the playground entrance.
•  ​   Service will continue to be streamed on Zoom (link above)

Funerals, if any:
•    Masking required.
•    The deceased’s family has priority for seating in the Church;
•    Parishioners welcome to sit in Parish Hall
•    Service will be streamed online.

Choir:
•    No changes:  we will continue to rehearse, masked with the windows open, on Wednesdays at 5pm.

Tuesday School:
•    No changes

Meetings:
•    All meetings currently meeting at Grace Church will continue to do so; all participants are required to wear a mask while in Grace Church buildings.
•    All meetings are to have an online zoom component for those who do not feel safe attending in person.

Lobster Rolls
•    Are considered an essential ministry and will continue as planned.

The Re-gathering committee will continue to monitor the covid situation and will meet again next month to reassess where we are.
