Dear Parishioners and Friends,
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR SERVICES
COVID-19 Policy – Revised 10/12/2021
All are welcome to worship at St. Barnabas, whether vaccinated and unvaccinated.
• When indoors, please wear a mask.
• When outdoors, masks are recommended when social distancing is not possible.
Pews are marked for social distancing. Extra masks and hand sanitizer will be located on the
welcome table, in addition to a collection plate for pledges and donations.
Anyone with symptoms of Covid-19, regardless of your vaccination status, should stay home
and seek testing.
We continue to request that everyone maintain social distance of 6 feet and avoid physical
contact. Socializing after the service should take place outside at coffee hour rather than
indoors.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping our parishioners and staff as safe as possible.
These guidelines will continue to be reviewed and updated as necessary.
