Dear Synod:  

Below are the links to the documents I stated in my weekly pastoral video. Please review them carefully before deciding to return to in-person worship. Stay safe and be well.

Along with the three listed below, please also view this link, Considerations for Returning to In-person Worship , from Presiding Bishop, Elizabeth Eaton.

  1. Risks. Know Them. Avoid Them.
  2. Guidelines for in-person church gatherings
  3. Returning to the Sanctuary. Worship Resources.
