From the Pastor - April 1

Dear friends at Ebenezer,

As another Sunday and Holy Week approach, I'm excited to be celebrating these sacred days in person for the first time in far too long.

Beginning Sunday, April 3 we will also offer the opportunity for masks to become optional for those who are vaccinated and boosted. This is a big change for many of us, and to be hospitable to all, I ask everyone to keep the following in mind:

• If you are not boosted, cannot be vaccinated, or have other risk factors, please continue to wear a mask.

• If you are seated near small children, who cannot yet be vaccinated, please continue to wear a mask.

• Our nursery attendant will be back on duty Sunday, April 3. She is fully vaccinated, boosted and will wear a mask at all times. Similarly, we ask that our Sunday School volunteers continue to mask.

• If you choose not to wear a mask, please be cognizant of others' comfort levels. We're all at different places in our response to the changes in mask recommendations and being kind and patient with one another is of value in our community.

Be well, and care well for one another.

In Peace,

Pastor Michael
