Given the forecast and the likelihood that most of us will need to dig out tomorrow, I’ve conferred with the wardens and have decided to hold a ZOOM only Morning Prayer service tomorrow, January 30th, 2022. I will lead the service from home. Please, stay safe and warm.
We are so grateful for the care and attention you have given to keep yourselves and one another safe by observing protocols thus far. Given the large number of COVID cases in Maine and the rise of the omicron variant, we want to be especially vigilant and careful in order to keep one another and the wider community safe. Until further notice, beginning Christmas Eve and continuing for all worship services going forward, we urge
Only those who are fully vaccinated and boosted to attend worship services
Everyone in attendance to wear a well-fitted mask
Stay home if you have any symptoms, especially a cough, or have any question about whether you might have been exposed to someone with COVID
