Please remember that if you take a tag off the tree, you should record your name on the sheet provided.
All gifts need to be returned to Church by December 4th.

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 9:30 am Wiggle Worship service will be 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.
