Barry notes…

Thank you for your spirit of patience and cooperation over the past year as we have navigated the global pandemic, and as we have worked to keep everyone as safe as possible from COVID-19. Throughout the year, our protocols have been based on CDC guidelines and best practices of our sister churches.

Last week’s announcement from the CDC, based on a decrease in positive cases and an increase in vaccinations, is welcome news: “Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.”

We love our church family. In the weeks ahead, we will continually update our protocols based on the most recent CDC guidelines and the best practices of other congregations in our area.

In regard to the updated CDC guidelines, beginning on May 23, wearing a facial covering (mask) will be optional during Church at Wieuca worship services and ministry activities with the following exceptions and precautions:

• We encourage those who have not yet been vaccinated and those at higher risk to continue to wear facial coverings and to choose distanced seating at all indoor worship services and activities.
• For now, we encourage children and students to wear facial coverings in indoor group settings, such as worship and children’s church. Masks are no longer required for outdoor events.
• During this season of regathering, our seating options for worship will include both distanced seating and non-distanced seating. Please choose a seating area according to your preference.
• In consideration of all members and guests, we will continue to utilize minimal contact methods of receiving the offering and serving communion for a while longer.
• Different on-campus events such as Bible studies, weddings, memorial services, graduations, and recitals may have different protocols in place to accommodate the specific needs of those involved. Please follow the specific guidelines for these events which may vary from our Sunday protocols.

We recognize that there are a variety of perspectives represented in our church family. Out of love and concern for one another, we ask everyone to consider those around you and show respect for each person’s decision regarding the wearing of masks in every situation.

We want to follow the admonition of Paul in Philippians 2:3-4: In humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

I look forward to seeing you in worship this Sunday as we recognize our graduating seniors and as we observe Pentecost Sunday with an encouraging word about the Holy Spirit.

I am honored to serve alongside you as your pastor,

Barry
