Announcement (updated 02-21-21)
Dear members and friends,
While we wait for Covid infection rates to decline in our area, and for vaccines to protect our most vulnerable, our weekly virtual church service (podcast format) is available here on our web site, and also on Spotify and iTunes. Sunday School and the EPIC Youth Group are working on service projects. Call the church office to be added to the Facebook Group where Sunday School and Youth Group information is posted.
The church board will meet in early March to review our re-opening criteria in light of vaccine availability. Our current criteria for a return to indoor worship are as follows:
– the Walworth County Covid-19 scorecard shows 4 green lights,
– the percentage of positive cases is 3% or less, and
– the percentage of positive cases trends downward for 3 weeks.
Remember that church will look different when we initially return. We’ll wear masks. We won’t sing. Family groups will sit at least six feet apart from each other. We might even have assigned seats. We won’t have coffee hour downstairs. We’ll continue to offer a virtual option for those people who aren’t ready to risk group gatherings.
“Regular church” will return when the pandemic is declared to be over.
The pandemic has forced us to consider the critical question: What makes us a church? Please help us answer that question. Contact any board member or Pastor Ruth to share your thoughts and ideas.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Your Church Board
