With joy we are welcoming a significant change in response to COVID-19. Due to vaccination protocols, new treatments for Covid, and reduced infection rates the CDC has implemented a new metric for determining infection risk. www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html
Our parish leadership can use this metric as a guide that allows healthy and/or vaccinated people to go without a mask. What we have done over this past two years is make sure that everyone felt as safe as possible when we gathered together and that no one felt excluded. As we make this shift we want to continue to be sure that we do not exclude anyone from church.
To help inform the decision of the Wardens, Vestry and Rector, we ask that each of you take a moment to complete the attached survey and we will use this information at next week's Vestry meeting to inform our decision about moving to a mask optional environment.
