Stating next weekend • Because our churches are open to the public as a welcome place for people regardless of vaccination status, it is advised to create a “physical distance section” within the church for those who are required to wear masks and engage in physical distancing and/or for those who may be fully vaccinated but wish to continue to follow distancing practices. • There are many fully vaccinated individuals who are yet not comfortable returning to pre-pandemic lifestyle and who wish to continue to wear masks and maintain distance even though they are vaccinated. We recommend that pastors refer to the section provided for those who must/wish to continue to wear masks and follow the guidelines as the “physical distance section.” • The use of hymnals and bulletins may resume.
