To the People Who are Grace St. Paul’s:

Yesterday a member of our pantry/Social Services team tested positive for COVID. With an abundance of caution, we have shut down the Pantry, shower program, and Social Services through Monday, Jan. 24. 

All those who had direct contact with the person who tested positive have been notified and have been asked to quarantine for five days. Each will be tested before returning next week. 

This, combined with some other factors has left us very short-staffed this week in the office. Please be patient with us as we maneuver through the next few days.

At this point, we are not aware of any other exposures. Sunday plans including worship, Sunday School, youth and the Vestry nominating session all remain unchanged at this point.

The good news is that Omicron rates are now plummeting in all of the places in the U.S. where the variant began. Let’s be vigilant now as we wait for the same to happen here in Arizona in the upcoming weeks. 

Thank you all for continuing to protect each other!
