JULY WORSHIP In July, we will practice gathering with more people indoors. Signup here. We will have one weekly, masked indoor service at 9:30. The congregation will continue to be masked as an act of generous hospitality to children who cannot yet be vaccinated and transplant recipients and others on medication that reduce the efficacy of vaccines. MASKS REQUIRED WHILE IN BUILDING FOR WORSHIP //exception: Worship leaders may remove masks while inside the altar rail and at the organ.//Keep socially distanced while entering and exiting. Please no congregating within the building. If you would like to greet/chat with others, do so outdoors, not blocking flow to the parking lot. Chairs are in pods with some social distancing. Communion bread brought to your seat. No congregational singing yet. (We are practicing this with Hymn Sings and other gatherings). Stickers will be available. GREEN=I am vaccinated and comfortable with hugs. YELLOW=I’m comfortable in a masked conversation but not ready for handshakes/hugs. ORANGE=My comfort level is staying socially distanced today. HYMN SING WEDNESDAY! One and all are invited to our June Hymn Sing. Sing a lot, sing a little, or just listen in. Wednesday, June 30th from 7:00-8:15. Please arrive at Johnson Hall between 6:45-7:00 to get checked in and settled. More information and sign up here. VIDEO: ST. LUKE’S 1959-1974 We had a wonderful Panel of members last Sunday who discussed what life was like at St. Luke’s between 1959 and 1974. Get some movie snacks and sit down to watch here.
