Last Tuesday evening, Vestry discussed the latest COVID-related guidelines from the CDC. Masking continues to be recommended for anyone experiencing
symptoms; who has been exposed to someone with COVID; or with health-related concerns. But while it is recommended for safety indoors, it is no longer required. Therefore, St. Margaret’s no longer requires masking, although some of us may choose to do so. As respiratory patients, my husband and I certainly will. Please do continue to observe social distancing. We want to do our best to keep each other safe.
Lehigh and Northampton Counties are still in the medium or yellow range for COVID. Therefore, according to Diocesan guidelines, we will continue to receive communion with the Bread only. A reminder that although we miss having the Cup, we believe that receiving communion in one kind is complete communion.
WELCOME!
But let us not feel awkward or unsafe together. Let us rejoice!
SOCIAL DISTANCING
Please continue to observe social distancing.
MASKS
Masks are not required at this time.
