Every month the church council evaluates our safety protocols for Sunday worship. In March, the council unanimously agreed to lift the following two protocols: The blocking off of pews for spacing and the 80 person sanctuary maximum capacity. 

Rationale: The council believes that with current infection rates and the patterns of Zion practices, the barriers are not necessary. In addition, with Easter around the corner, if we have more than 80 people in the sanctuary, we are okay with that. However, the majority of the council was not comfortable dropping a mask mandate for Sunday morning worship. Singing while being in the same room is still an easy way to pass a COVID infection. Stay informed and keep in contact with council members as we continually discern next steps in congregation safety.
