Mask Update from the Session
Sunday, March 13, the Session approved the recommendation made by the COVID Safety Task Force to follow the changes in mask mandates set forth by Mecklenburg County, dropping the required indoor face coverings. The Session continues to encourage face coverings during indoor gatherings and asks that you follow CDC guidelines regarding self-screening and quarantine periods should you contract or be exposed to COVID-19.
