Small Steps Toward Normal

In the wake of Governor McMaster’s removal of the state-wide mask mandate, face masks are no longer required for singing at St. Jacob’s during worship. Those who wish to continue to wear facemasks are welcome to do so. As we continue our journey toward resuming our pre-pandemic practices for worship, we will enjoy singing hymns and liturgy without the wearing of facemasks. We will also resume standing while singing during the appropriate times of our service (during singing of hymns and liturgy). Also, facemasks will not be needed by children during the Children’s sermon. Hand sanitizer will remain available on the table near the entrance to the church nave as will a supply of disposable facemasks for those who wish to wear one. Thank you to all for your understanding throughout the time of our COVID-19 response during the past year.
