There are several options for worshiping together on Sunday, June 21st:
1. Go to the St. Augustine's Facebook (www.facebook.com/staugustinesmet) at either 8:00 am, 9:30 am (español), or 10:30 am. The services at those times will be "live." OR.... 2. If you don't have access to the internet, you can dial in and listen live at those times by dialing (888)958-7272 and then entering one of these access codes (you can only listen while the service is "live"): 8:00 AM - 371007309 9:30 AM - 416480822 10:30 AM - 863691700 OR.... 3. Go to the St. Augustine's Facebook (www.facebook.com/staugustinesmet) at any time and watch the recorded services. These options are particularly appropriate for individuals 65 years or older and people of all ages with poor control of medical issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, or a weakened immune system. (Or those who have gotten accustomed to church in their pajamas!) OR.... 4. Come to St. Augustine's for in-person, indoor worship at 8:00 am, 9:30 am (español), or 10:30 am. If you decide to come, here's an idea of what to do and what to expect: - The liturgy will be similar to the past few weeks, that is to say we will not celebrate Holy Eucharist. (Hoping for July 5th for that!) - You'll need to wear a mask. If you don't have one, we will give you one. - You will be "checked in" by Susan Scotton, our Parish Health Minister, so that we can have a roster of attendance should contact tracing be necessary later. The "check-in" will take place by the fountain in the gatehouse. - We will skip a pew between congregants and ask people to maintain six feet of distance between family groups. - If we run out of pew space, Byrd Hall will be set up as an overflow area to watch on Facebook Live. - Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the church. - You will need to print and bring the bulletin and/or your personal Book of Common Prayer. Printed bulletins will not be provided and all books have been removed from the pews. - We will not "pass the plate," but the offertory plates will be set out for your donations. - The church will be disinfected between services. This will be possible in part because Darlene Fisher, our Housekeeper, has agreed to adjust her hours to work on Sundays. She'll be assisted by members of the Altar Guild and Vestry. - Chase will play and sing from the choir loft. - We will not provide any shared food or beverages after the services. - The Nursery will not be open.
