Dear Congregation,

We are living in unusual times, which ask of us flexibility, patience, openness and benefit of the doubt in large doses. In our case, this comes down to the wish for every person who would like to attend the Act of Consecration to be able to do so without fear or anxiety.

Regardless of where you might stand on this issue, we are asking that you wear a mask in the chapel, on the porch and while visiting outside of the church out of consideration for those who would feel comforted by the added measure.

Please monitor yourselves carefully and choose to stay home if you have any symptoms of being unwell. I am also monitoring myself carefully and will be the exception and will not be wearing a mask while celebrating.

This too shall pass. It is an evolving situation. For now, let us do everything we can to allow everyone to attend the Service. We can be grateful that we can gather together and do not have to resort to "Zoom" church.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Rev. Carol Kelly
