Please note the following revisions to our worship protocol: If after attending a service at The Church of St. Michael & St. George or entering the premises you start to exhibit symptoms of COVID-19, we request that you inform us, get tested as soon as possible, and notify us of the result so that we may take the necessary action. When you are waiting for your test results, we ask that you worship with us online. If you unfortunately test positive we ask that you worship with us online until you are cleared by a physician.
