Clarification
from the SUMC
Post-Covid Re-Entry Group
|
|
|
|
Scottsville United Methodist Church has been given the freedom by the Virginia conference to make our own rules in regard to COVID safety protocols.
The Post-Covid Re-Entry Group recommends that each SMALL group meeting in the church building should decide what precautions to follow, including masking and distancing guidelines. This applies to groups both within and outside the congregation smaller than 24 people. Individuals participating in those small groups should then make the choice not to participate if they are not comfortable with the level of precautions in place.
The PRG agrees that large gatherings should remain on hold during the Winter months, and assessments and updates will be made as circumstances change.
We are monitoring community transmission through the link provided below, which currently shows our area at the orange level. As a result, we are strongly encouraging everyone to wear a mask during worship services, in all public indoor settings and to practice social distancing when possible.
