This morning the Executive Committee and Rev Sullivan met to discuss whether we feel comfortable moving forward with an in-person service on September 12. We reviewed data from the covid task force, discussed the pros and cons of meeting in person or not meeting in person and decided that we will move forward with the live service. Some of the factors that helped us come to this decision are the high vaccination rate in our communities, the fact that we will all be masked, and the fact that people will have a choice to watch the service remotely if they are not comfortable attending. While we cannot eliminate all risk, we feel that these factors reduce the risk of contracting and having negative outcomes from the virus to an acceptable level.
