ββIn John 13:34-35, Jesus presents his disciples with a new commandment: β[a]s I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.β
Beloveds, as we endure a global pandemic together, following these guidelines are how we love one another in addition to being flexible, gracious, adapting to the needs of the moment with little notice, and being comfortable with ongoing change. By working together in an open-hearted way and by centering the needs of those most vulnerable among us, we can keep each other healthy and safe and do so in a grace-filled spirit of love.

When wearing a mask, you must cover your entire nose and mouth.
If you do not feel safe being physically present at any time during the pandemic, that is okay. We are still here for you.
If someone is wearing a mask or is sitting distanced from others, please respect their comfort-level in a loving way.
