St. Marks' COVID-19 Response (Updated 5/13/20)

Now that we are past the peak of infections in our area, and the health care system is not in immediate danger of being overwhelmed, we plan to resume in-person services, in a limited way, beginning on Sunday, May 17, the Sixth Sunday of Easter.

​

For the time being, we will be holding two abbreviated services on Sunday mornings, one at 9am and one at 10am, with attendance assigned alphabetically (A-L: 9am; M-Z: 10am). While at church, we will be taking extraordinary precautions to minimize the chance of any person-to-person spread, including:

• Distributing hand sanitizer at the entryway

• Asking all congregants to wear face coverings

• Closing certain pews and spacing out congregants

• Suspending the sharing of the peace, passing of offering plates, and the common cup

• Distributing Holy Communion in pews, with the pastor and elder wearing masks

For those who feel, given their personal circumstances, that it would be wise for them to wait a bit longer before attending, we will continue posting full services online. We also will be making private pastoral visits available for high-risk individuals.

Until further notice, church meetings and special events are still suspended.
