“Obedience to the Unenforceable”

SERVICE WILL BE ONSITE (but also available to watch on Zoom)

Why do we follow rules that no one can enforce? Why do we do the right thing, even when no one is looking? While laws and consequences matter, it is our voluntary willingness to behave even without such structures that allows us to live according to our values.

Our COVID protocols have changed. Here are the COVID protocols our Safe Congregation Committee has provided for all in-person activities in the Church as of March 25, 2022.

COVID risk level for Lake County is rated as ‘low’ by the CDC. We recommend moving to an environment of personal responsibility and removing COVID restrictions with the following guidance:

  • Masks are not required but may be worn at any time if an individual desires. If a mask is worn, the KN95 mask is recommended as it offers the most protection. Social distancing will no longer be required. Members will respect each person’s choice regarding masking and social distancing.
  • Each member has a personal responsibility to maintain their vaccination status, to not attend services if they test positive or have symptoms, or have been exposed to COVID, and to report symptoms if they develop after attending church services.
  • Please continue to check in, or, in the case of guests, sign in, so we will have a record of your attendance and be able to contact you should there be a COVID diagnosis for someone attending. This applies each time you enter the building.
  • We will continue with in-person services.
  • The building will be open for small groups.
  • 9:30 am Sunday discussion group may meet in the Social Hall.
  • The Hospitality Committee may resume coffee service and potlucks.
  • We may resume singing with masks not required.
  • Choir may resume with masks not required.
  • Outdoor events, such as Tai Chi will continue with masks not required.

The Safe Congregation Committee and the Board will continue to monitor the situation in our area. Our protocols are based on our community COVID status and may change in the future. Thank you for remaining patient and flexible!
