Hello everyone,
Due to a serious resurgence of COVID-19 cases due to the very infectious delta variant, Governor Inslee has imposed a mask mandate for everyone attending indoor meetings, even if they are vaccinated. As such, all who attend church services will be required to wear a mask and respect social distancing until further notice. For now, speakers at the podium will be allowed to speak without a mask. We also ask that attendees who feel ill, or who have knowingly been exposed to anyone diagnosed with COVID-19, refrain from attending church services until a negative COVID-19 test result is received. We ask that anyone who is not vaccinated, seat themselves either in the fireside room or the balcony. After service coffee hour is also discontinued until further notice.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 delta variant is also infecting some people who have been fully vaccinated, making them very ill. This disease needs to be taken seriously, and we encourage you all to take steps to ensure your safety and good health in all your day-to-day activities. Please remember, there is no social stigma associated with not attending church, if you don’t feel safe doing so.
Finding valuable information on this disease from government sources or the news media is difficult at best. However, statistics clearly show that after seemingly making progress against this disease from February through July 2021, we are seeing COVID-19 infection rates in August that may be even higher than the peaks seen last December/January.
On a positive note, we will still be holding an outside celebration and blessing of our new manse, and Pastor Mark Dowdy’s birthday at the manse and church parking lot after service on Sunday August 29th. Food and beverage service will be be provided with your safety in mind. So, please plan to attend if you can.
Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.
Together in Christ,
Ernie and Paulli Badger, TPC Session Worship Committee
