gathering guidelines for zion - 11/18/2020

Dear Members and Friends of Zion Lutheran Church,

Your council leaders met last evening to discuss and update the guidelines for gathering in this pandemic. Pastor Natasha and I deeply appreciate their strong and balanced leadership.

Taking into consideration the governor’s new mandates, the high rate of Covid infection and reports of increased hospitalization, the decision was made to discontinue all in person worship until the January council meeting. Sadly, this means there were be no in person worship services on Christmas Eve. Funerals will continue to be held with a maximum attendance of 30. Small groups of 10 or less are allowed to meet. Staff will continue to be in the building during regular office hours. Please call to have one of us let you in. Of course masks and appropriate physical distancing will continue to be necessary. Please know that your pastors and staff will continue to connect and support, serve and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in every way possible during these difficult times.

Pastor John Streccius
