Dear Saints,

I know it’s still Lent, but I’m saying Hallelujah anyway today because we have been given the green light to resume worship indoors at All Saints beginning Easter Day! 

This news comes with the reminder that we will be observing mandatory safety protocols, including wearing masks and keeping six feet of distance between ourselves and others, using hand sanitizer upon entering, refraining from singing (we will have instrumentalists and our choral scholars to provide music). In addition, you must register (either online or by calling the office) to attend an indoor service because our seating capacity is limited at this time.

We will be mailing out specific instructions on Monday, by email and snail mail, about our protocols and how to sign up. We’re even making a video to show you the drill. The indoor service will be at 11:00 a.m. and will be live-streamed via Facebook and YouTube. All of this information will be posted on our website as well.

We will also continue to offer an outdoor service at 9:30 on the patio for those who would prefer that option. You do not have to sign up for the outdoor services.

Communion (bread only at this point) will be offered at both the 9:30 outdoor and the 11:00 indoor services. 

We realize that with the limit on the number of folks who can attend indoor worship means that some of you will want to come but not be able to. So please consider alternating between indoor and outdoor services during this time of limited capacity indoors. Each will be holy and special in its own way. And we need many hands to make all this work, so if you would like to volunteer to help with technology, setup, ushering, or anything else, please let us know.

Stay tuned for instructions about signing up for indoor services on Monday. 

Blessings,
Penny+
