Dear St. Mary's Parents,
We are happy that you are bringing your children to Sunday School beginning this Sunday! As a new school year begins, we understand there are many hard choices that parents are making for the best interest and safety of their children.
At St. Mary’s we are offering outdoor Sunday School this fall to provide a safe way for our children to gather together. We have put some safety measures in place including meeting outside, social distancing as possible, and, if you choose, wearing masks. But please understand, we are not requiring masks outside, and many may choose to not to wear them and others may.
If it is raining or bad weather, we will not meet and an email will be sent out by 8 a.m. on Sunday morning with an update.
We continue to closely monitor public health data for Goochland, Henrico, and Chesterfield Counties, and the City of Richmond. A consulting physician guides us in interpreting these numbers. Also, we continue to pay attention to the decisions made by area schools and will follow their responses as health concerns arise. If programming such as Sunday School or Children’s Chapel needs to be adjusted or suspended, we will notify parents via email in a timely fashion.
In the spirit of taking care of one another, please notify David May if you or your child become ill after attending Sunday School or Church as a family. And, as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please be in touch.
We are looking forward to this fall of coming back together!
Faithfully,
Amelia McDaniel
Lay Associate for Christian Formation
