Update on COVID Cases and Worship
We continue to monitor reports and trends with current COVID infection rates and numbers. Cobb County and surrounding counties have a high amount of infection rates and cases at this time. More and more members of ECA have recently tested positive for COVID, with that in mind, please do not attend any events if you have any cold like symptoms. With our current policies and protocols in place, the risk of being exposed is minimal and members who are possibly exposed are contacted as a precaution. We continue to follow safe protocols to minimize the risk of infection so we can continue to worship in person at ECA. We will continue to remain transparent with information regarding our policies and procedures on how we gather safely to worship in these anxious and uncertain times. Blessings, Fr. Paul+ and the Vestry
