1. Masks are not required outside but will be used inside.
2. Continued availability and use of hand sanitizer and wipes
3. Greeters only at distance
4. Outdoor services when and where possible
5. Distancing except with family groups or established bubbles
6. Sharing of the peace through smiling and nodding
7. Communion will be bread only
7. Singing outdoors or when masked and distanced indoors.
8. Outdoor socialization without food or beverage and with distancing (no indoor
socializing)

Due to vacations and easing back into our regular rhythms, we will alternate Zoom and in person worship this summer. We had originally thought to keep our worship outside for the summer but with both the heat and the wonderful progress on vaccination and relaxing of restrictions we thought we would do a quick poll to see if in person outdoor or indoor or a combination would be most comfortable for you as we aim to be fully back indoors September 12th. We are also interested in your experience of Zoom church and any other feedback on worship you would like to offer as (God willing!) we move out of this pandemic. Parish Council will meet July 8th to discuss so please have your responses in by July 6th.

If you attended Zoom church over the pandemic, how did you find it? What were the gifts and the challenges?

As we re-gather, what are your hopes for worship. Would you like to have one (or more times) per month that are discussion based like we have been doing on Zoom? Other hopes for worship?

If you were one of our Wednesday coffee time folks, how did this go for you? Would you like to see this continue and if so in what format? (Midweek eucharist and discussion, coffee at the church or elsewhere, book study etc...)

Is there anything else you would like to share about our transition to in-person worship and gatherings again?
