Covid announcement, Christmas Eve

On behalf of Linda Millard, V.P of Murray Church and Chair of the COVID-19 Task Force, the following announcement, as approved by the Executive Board, is made regarding precautions during the Christmas Eve Service:
AT THIS TIME in-person attendance at the Christmas Eve Service will follow the same protocol set at the beginning of this church year:

• No pre-registration or proof of immunization is required to attend the service;
• Attendees are encouraged to take responsibility for their own well-being. COVID-19, Flu, and Respiratory infections (including RSV), are more common now, and the positivity rates of all three are going up;
• Masks are encouraged and will be provided for those wanting them;
• If you are not feeling well, please stay home and log onto ZOOM from the comfort and safety of your own home to enjoy the Christmas Eve Service;
• We will keep the sanctuary well-ventilated, with good airflow using a combination of the ceiling fan, and the floor fans and keeping outside doors cracked open;
• With all of this in mind, the final decision will be made by the Deacons & Deaconesses with regard to using battery-operated or real candles during our traditional rendering of Silent Night.
