To reduce the spread of COVID-19, we have taken many steps to minimize risk, including at this time, suspending indoor services. The services were suspended because we felt the risk of contamination was too high for our procedures to mitigate. But just like children and families have done, if you know and trust the self-limiting exposure of a group of people, like a neighbor, you can do things together with them, that you would not do if you didn’t have that level of trust. That is a bubble group. It is people who trust each other’s level of contact and feel safe being around each other.
In our congregation, we have friends and family members who do things outside of church. We know that some of our members have limited their “going out” like dining in restaurants or shopping. If people want to gather together in smaller groups, we could arrange to have a worship service for them. Further, anyone who wants to come and visit the church or receive Holy Communion, you are always welcome to do so, just reach out to Pastor Gerry!
