COVID-19 Update

Important Announcement:
According to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health there has been a significant rise in COVID-19 transmission across Franklin County. As a result, we will once again require masks be worn inside all our buildings, regardless of vaccination status. With the emergence of the Omicron variant and routine spread of cold and flu throughout the winter, we will continue with the practice of wearing masks through mid-March. At that time we will reassess our mask policy.  Throughout this winter if you have cold or flu symptoms, we encourage you to stay home and join our worship virtually.

Details in regards to worship and building use during COVID-19:
Effective December 2, 2021

• We ask that masks be worn inside our buildings, regardless of vaccination status, due to a rise in local cases of covid-19.
• We are listening to epidemiologists who encourage limited singing in worship. 
• We will continue to keep windows open, and some doors open for better air circulation. We are researching alternatives due to the cold weather. 
• At this time, we offer Holy Communion with bread only. ​
