"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar. We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs, hurts, joys, and interests."

From Scott+ and Resurrection Vestry:
In the spring, Bishop Wright and the Diocesan COVID Task Force lifted mandatory safety protocols and instructed parishes to follow CDC guidelines. As you know, COVID is now surging across the country, our state, and in our county, particularly among the unvaccinated. New scientific data indicates that even among the vaccinated, the new delta variant can increase your viral load and make you more likely to transmit it to someone else. The CDC has identified White County as having a substantial level of community transmission.
The Vestry decided today that for the time being, we strongly encourage that vaccinated and unvaccinated parishioners wear masks during indoor gatherings such as worship, fellowship, and formation. Because of the increase of risk with singing, we require worshipers to wear a mask while singing.
Remember, the Christian life centers around love of God and love of neighbor. Christians exist for the benefit of others. However long this spike lasts, it is something we can all do to show our love and care for one another. Please get vaccinated if you are not so already. Let’s be Resurrection strong!
