New Mask Requirement

Council decided on Tuesday to require anyone entering the church building to wear a mask at all times. (The only exception being that a worship leader may remove their mask only when they are at a microphone speaking or singing, so that people can hear them. Worship leaders must wear their masks whenever they are not at a microphone.)

Background:
Concern brought forward by worship team to Deacons and Executive team related to current state of Covid and need to be more rigorous with protocols. This includes masking while singing for congregation.

Rationale:

· There are more breakthrough cases of Covid 19 occurring to people who are vaccinated.

· There have been instances when we haven’t been “social distancing” inside the building while we have had our masks off.

· It would be heart wrenching if someone died because they caught Covid from being in our building.

· The church could be held financially liable if someone died after catching Covid in our building because our protocols were too lax.

Theological reason: Jesus calls us to “love our neighbors as ourselves” and to care for the most vulnerable among us.
