Marble UMC Covid-19 information
Hello Neighbors!
The Washtenaw County Health Department decided to lift its mask mandate on February 28th, 2022. Considering this information, the current Covid numbers and a discussion during the Church Council meeting, leadership has decided to follow the health department in lifting our masking guidelines starting March 6th, 2022.
Being able not to wear masks is not as simple as it sounds. Yes, we no longer require people to wear a mask while in the building. However, we strongly recommend that you still consider wearing one for your safety and protecting others. The choice is yours to make, and no one will be questioned or shamed if they choose to wear one or not.
We encourage you to be respectful of everyone's personal space and boundaries. We thank you for all you have done during this time to follow the guidelines that have been set in place to maintain a safe church environment. These new guidelines are organic and can be changed as needed. If you have questions regarding these changes, feel free to contact one of the Church Council members or Pastor Matt.
As new updates happen, we ask for everybody to be flexible and show grace as we continue to work our way through this situation. Also, please understand that how we approach and attend worship now is still going to look different than before.
Keep in mind there is no single way to go about what we are doing and no instruction manual to help figure out what to do. Marble Memorial is only as strong and loving as its people are. Again, be flexible and show grace.
Below, are the key guidelines Marble is following each week we gather for now. Thank you.
We realize there will be questions after reading this, and we have also taken households into account for seating. Remember, be flexible and show grace. We look forward to worshipping with everyone this Sunday.
Have a great day and peace be with you!
