Updated COVID Protocol as of October 23, 2022

After a period of prayerful reflection and discernment, the Vestry, Wardens and Rector have decided to adjust our COVID protocols.

  • Masks will no longer be required at the 8 a.m. service. Parishioners and visitors who feel more comfortable wearing a mask are encouraged to do so. For convenience, masks will still be available at the entrance to the church. 

  • For the time being, while we are reintroducing a full music program, masks will still be required for the 10 a.m. Sunday service.

  • Children 12 and under are not required to mask in Sunday School or while they are in the nave for the Eucharist; however, we ask that they be masked for our once a month “Eucharist for Everyone” family-oriented 10 a.m. service.

  • If you are not feeling well or have had a known COVID exposure, please take advantage of the livestream feed and stay home. 

    • Symptoms include fever, fatigue, cough, sore throat, body ache, and congestion. We recognize that colds, flu and allergies are all at play as well; please err on the side of caution and join us via livestream.

    • A known exposure is a family member who has tested positive, or a person who you have been in prolonged, close contact with who has tested positive.

    • In order to create a safe space between the congregation and those on the altar, during optional mask liturgies the first two rows of seats will be blocked off. Please take a seat anywhere else in the sanctuary. 

  • Outside groups using CTK facilities will need to present a COVID policy for their event(s) or use that is at a minimum consistent with the overall CTK protocol.

  • Going forward, at its regular monthly meeting the vestry will review the protocol, how it is working and/or what if any changes might be necessary. In the event that a more timely review is necessary, the Wardens and Rector are ready to make whatever adjustments are required to keep CTK safe. 

    These updated guidelines reflect our commitment to creating a liturgical space that is safe and accessible for all, especially our immunocompromised and at-risk members. Prudently acting out of concern for our fellow parishioners is a Christ-like act of love that is the embodiment of what it means to be CTK. 

    If you have questions or feedback, please reach out to the Rector, Matt Burr or Bob Murphy.
