COVID-19 Prevention & Mitigation SMART (St. Michael's Assessment and Reopening Team) continues to Meet to review current protocols.
SMART Update—December 2022 Throughout this fall St. Michael’s has continued to follow local and state guidance with regard to COVID-19. At this point in time St. Michael’s, like the majority of places, has moved to face masks recommended due to the preponderance of cold, flu, RSV and COVID infections circulating.
We continue the move toward normalcy. Over the last few months you have likely seen:
The adult choir has returned to rehearsing in the choir room
Coffee hour is now back up and running
The church is hosting receptions and meals
And we anticipate having communion at the communion rail beginning in January on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays
(with continuous communion on the 2nd and 4th Sundays)
For all intents and purposes, we are operating in many ways like we did prior to COVID-19.
As we move through the holiday season SMART continues to encourage all who are able to get their COVID-19 boosters. Also, for those experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 we recommended you get tested and refrain from congregational activities for the recommended periods of time.
We want to thank you for being community over the last 2 ½ years and for all you have done to care for yourself and others. We continue to strive to keep everyone as healthy as possible.
We anticipate the St. Michael’s Assessment & Reopening Team will be winding down our work and updates. We will simply move into action if there are significant case increases or issues in our community or the congregation.
Again, with our sincere gratitude! Karen Wilkerson, Deb Legan, Sara Osterman, Sandra Eliason, Dennis Skovsted, Hal Tiffany, Jone Tiffany, Pastor Brad Froslee
