Re: Safety Measures During COVID-19 Pandemic
The Prudential Committee met on Sunday, August 9th. In addition to our regular agenda, the committee reviewed our approach to the COVID-19 pandemic including our policies and safety guidelines per the attached letter dated July 2020. Lately, discussions have started around relaxing some of our safety rules. However, in an abundance of caution, and with the goal of keeping all members of our church family as safe as possible, the Prudential Committee has decided to reaffirm the safety guidelines we had initially put in place with respect to all in-person gatherings at the church, including worship services. Specifically:
- Social distancing must be maintained as best we can at all times
- Face masks covering both mouth and nose must continue to be worn at all times while inside the church (except when eating and drinking with social distancing)
- There will continue to be no singing, including the Doxology
- Fans will not be used during services, meetings, or events
- Note that fans may be used prior to the start of events to “air out” the space but must be turned off prior to people arriving
- During coffee hour, food items will be individually wrapped and social distancing must be maintained
Reminder that worship services are also provided via Zoom, and our updated meeting ID/password have been emailed to most parishioners. Please email bookingwcc@gmail.com if you need the updated information.
While we realize not all members of our congregation will agree with the safety guidelines, we believe they are necessary, especially with schools reopening soon. Please keep in mind that most churches in our area have not yet opened and are continuing to hold all services and events remotely, if at all.
Please feel free to direct any feedback or concerns to Kelly Ouellette, Evelyn Taggart, or Melissa Engel. Thanks very much!
Sincerely,
Westchester Congregational Church Prudential Committee
