This week’s Letterbox – for September 20, 2023
PAST ISSUES:
Letterbox – September 13, 2023
MASKS WELCOME HERE
Grace’s mask-wearing policy updated in October 2022. Read the letter explaining this update HERE.
May 7, 2023 – updated protocol:
In consultation with our medical advisory team, Grace pastors and staff have decided to remove the requirement for communion assistants to mask during worship. The medical facilities at which our advisory team members are employed have all recently dropped masking requirements for both staff and patients, so this seems like an appropriate time to remove this last masking requirement at Grace. This change will happen on Sunday, May 7. As always, people who are not feeling well are encouraged to stay home and worship with us online.
Announcements:
We like to get the word out! News for the Grace community goes out in several ways: Sunday worship bulletins, mid-week Letterbox emails (see above), monthly newsletters, and Facebook posts.

These are helpful things to know when submitting announcements:
