We continue to hold worship services by Zoom.
We anticipate holding hybrid services (in-person with those who prefer joining by livestream/Zoom) in the near future.
Our aim is sometime in May 2021. We also plan to have some outdoor services in June and July at St. Margaret's House. When we open, per Diocesan guidance all will be masked, with 6 ft distance between family groups, regardless of vaccination status.
