INDOOR WORSHIP AND MASKS

February 18, 2022

On February 15 the State of California revised its requirements for the wearing of masks in indoor occupancies.  See the following information:

Likewise, the County of Sacramento followed with a new public health order dated February 16, 2022:

We recommend that our members and guests follow the guidelines from the State and County.  However, we will allow any person to self attest as to their vaccination status and will not require any proof of the same.   Likewise, parents will determine whether or not their children wear masks indoors.  We continue to urge caution to everyone, especially those potentially subject to more severe symptoms of Covid-19, and to take whatever precautions they feel necessary.

 

Our congregation subsequently announced that we will continue to meet for indoor worship and classes subject to these requirements:
  • Masks will be optional both in the worship service and in child and adult classes.  It will be up to the adult or parent of a minor to determine if the adult or child wears a mask.
(An exception to this is our congregational singing.  We do request that all wear a mask during the congregational singing until we announce it too will be optional)
  • Social distancing of 6′ between persons not of the same household during the worship service and outdoors on the church campus.
  • Classroom spacing will be at least 3 feet from the next person.
  • All touched surfaces will be sanitized between services
  • Doors may remain open during services for air flow, and our HVAC filters have been changed recently.
We continue to monitor new cases in our County and may change these requirements if conditions warrant.”
