​About Covid & Cold/Flu season (2025/2026):


* We continue to be mindful of the ebb and flow of viruses (Covid variants, Flu, Norovirus, RSV, etc.), and we respectfully ask that if you (or those you reside with) feel unwell in any way, to consider joining worship through Zoom. 

* Our clergy, lay ministers, and others engaged in direct ministries are required to be vaccinated, and we strongly encourage vaccines to everyone, as well as booster shots. 

* Masks are available for anyone at increased risk, or for those preferring to wear one, but are not necessary for vaccinated parishioners and visitors.  

* St. John's sanctuary and coffee-hour reception area are both well-ventilated with modern air-purification equipment.  

​* Social distancing is respected.
