Church Covid Team 2020

The executive of First United Church has formed a Covid Response Team to deal with all aspects regarding a SAFE return to use of our sanctuary for regular Sunday services.

Since early March we have been enjoying video recorded services via our website and also Facebook. The quality of these services is excellent and we thank all those involved in delivering them. There have been weeks when over 1300 people have viewed them, a wonderful reach.

It is possible that Premier Higgs will give the authorization for churches to reopen soon.

Our Covid Response Team, along with your executive, have decided, if given permission (or the authorization), we will hold off opening for now and continue with the video services. This decision was made with an abundance of caution and will be reviewed weekly.

Members of this new team are:

Brenda Parrott, Sandra Boone, Lester Scott, Rev. Neal and Jini Palmer, and Martha Vickers. Please feel free to contact any of us with your questions and comments.

Stay safe!
