Dear Grace Community,
On Monday, May 17, the Grace Session discussed the updates to the CDC guidelines on masks and updated our policies. Starting today, anyone who is fully inoculated may choose whether or not to wear a mask while in the Grace building. This includes worship, meetings, and events. Masks are still required for those who are not inoculated. The Session meets next on June 21 and addresses the guidelines again.
We continue to socially distance in worship, with tape on the pews in the sanctuary. However, we are moving our maximum number from 80 to 100, recognizing that people are sitting more closely in pews so there is more space. Based on our average worship attendance for the last two months, this should eliminate the need for anyone to go to the Great Room for overflow.
We rejoice that the vaccine is effective, and we give thanks for the chance to be together.
In Christ,
Catherine
