Grace’s Building Update Changes – June 4, 2021
Grace UMC has been back with in-person worship since January 31, 2021.  Please note the changes as outline below from Bishop Bard.  Over the next few weeks, we will work on plans for children’s ministry and the inclusion of food for fellowship times based on the new guidelines.
 
Grace UMC will continue to offer on-line worship (see our Home Page for accessing on-line worship) or on the Grace UMC Facebook page.  
 
Grace office hours are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Summary of Grace UMC changes:
 
There are no capacity limits for gathering, but social distancing is still highly encouraged and masks are recommended for anyone who has not been vaccinated. We recognize that children and some members may not be vaccinated for some time, if at all. We respect the health and well being of all who gather, and wearing a mask will never be questioned or judged. There are areas to sit towards the back of the sanctuary if you feel comfortable with a bit more distance. Singing is still considered a high-risk practice. If you choose to sing along, rather than hum, please wear a mask to do so.
 
Small groups meeting indoors, should continue to practice social distancing when possible. For this reason groups should still plan to meet in the Fellowship Hall for now. Masks are recommended for anyone who has not been vaccinated.
