St John’s Congregational Council modified our Covid19 Guidance Policy to say:

• Masking in our facility is “as you feel safest”.
• Also, some practices are on hold, like ‘passing the offering plate’ to one another.
• Leaders will wear masks as they lead in close proximity.
• Scripture Readers may unmask as they read from a safe distance.
• Our assumption is that many of our people will continue to wear their masks as the vaccine rollout grows and grows. Particularly it is helpful to wear masks when we walk in closer proximity (for example: in entrance and departure spaces of the building). Also, we trust that those who have had close contacts ‘outside their usual network of people’ will use extra caution.
• We have installed an ‘ultraviolet treatment’ within our facility’s air handling system to purify the air as it recirculates.
