Diocesan and state health guidelines prevail. Please observe the procedures listed below, and as always, thank you for observing these protocols, which is an expression of your care for everyone in the Parish family.
AT THE TIME FOR COMMUNION:
¨ Only the Host (Bread) will be distributed; not wine
¨ Please approach the Altar in SINGLE FILE from the Center aisle only, not the side aisles
¨ Communicants should sanitize their hands before receiving the host. You may use your own, or a bottle is placed at the head of the aisle
¨ The Host will be placed in the palm of each Communicant, not on the tongue
¨ Please return to your seat, by way of the side aisles
¨ Remove your mask to take the Host, then replace the mask for the remainder of the service
Please also remember, per the mandates of the State of New York and
The Episcopal Diocese of Long Island:
· Face Masks are required to be worn by all in attendance at all times.
(We have a supply on hand, if you forgot yours.)
· Physical Distancing of 6 feet must be maintained at all times, and pews are marked for that purpose.
· Please place your offering in one of the Offering Plates near the Altar before the service begins. If you came in late, please place it in the plate immediately following the service.
