CHILDREN'S AND YOUTH FORMATION ONLINE via ZOOM
Everyone is invited to Zoom in on Wednesday nights from 7:00-7:30 pm for “Jammies with Jesus”. We hope parents can give kids a night off from chores after dinner so they can join. We will have a story based on the lectionary for the coming week, some kind of interactive activity, prompts for family discussion and perhaps music. We’ll wind down w/ quiet time so kids will be ready for bed. Parents are invited too! It will be a great opportunity to practice formation at home.

COVID MITIGATIONS

The diocese has given authority to each parish to set COVID guidelines that work within each congregation's context. On Tuesday, March 22, the vestry voted to implement the following COVID mitigations:
- The wearing of masks is optional.
- Mask wearing is required when the Presider is at table consecrating the elements. Masks must be worn by the Presider and by the LEMs (lay Eucharistic ministers) when distributing bread and wine.
- Once received, bread and wine may be consumed immediately.
- Weather permitting, increased ventilation in the sanctuary is strongly encouraged. Open windows and open doors.
- As the seasons cooperate, the 9:30AM Wiggle Worship service will return to being celebrated outside.
- If you are experiencing cold symptoms or may have been exposed to COVID, you are encouraged to wear a mask or stay home.
