First Lutheran COVID Policy Update: August Council Meeting

Dear First Lutheran Family,

Council would like to share our discussion of the current COVID challenges impacting our community:

     Given the extremely high numbers of infections, hospitalizations, and the new realities of “Breakthrough” cases, we are strongly encouraging the wearing of masks once again indoors. *Singing will continue, and we especially ask that you please mask while participating in this way*

     We’re all tired, we’re all disappointed to backtrack on this subject, but the current conditions call on us to protect each other by minimizing opportunity for spread of the virus. We know how to do this and don’t want to make a mandate or requirement. Rather, we just ask for your consideration if you come to worship in person. Services continue to be offered on Zoom if you prefer to join us there.

     We will continue to monitor the situation and stay in touch. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Pastor Austin or Shelly Tanabe.

Thank you very much, we look forward to seeing you at the ESC or online.

Church Council
