COVID Protocol Update (January 14, 2022)
Due to the level of community transmission in Polk County (CDC ranks us as HIGH) the following protocols are in place at St. Timothy’s until further notice:
- Our worshipers are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated and boosted as they are able.
- Masks are required at worship services.
- We strongly encourage physical distancing and have marked the pews in the sanctuary accordingly and have set up the chairs in the Parish Hall to reflect this reality.
- The congregation is allowed to sing hymns with the cantor — masks are still required.
- Communion wafers will be brought to the congregation at the Saturday 5 pm service in our Parish Hall. At the 10:15 am sanctuary service, communion wafers will be distributed from the center aisle. At both services, small bowls of wine will be available for those who desire to dip (intinct) their wafers.
- For our youngest members, we offer a Children Living the Word service in our Parish Hall during the 10:15 am Sunday service. Children join their parents for communion in the sanctuary at the end of the service. (See further details on our website Children’s Formation page.)
- Hospitality in our Parish Hall is available following the 10:15 am Sunday service. We encourage those who join in the hospitality to keep physical distance from others not in their “pods,” to continue wearing their masks except when drinking or eating, and to keep a maximum of 3 people at each table.
- We continue to offer livestreaming of our 10:15 am Sunday service. Join us via our Youtube channel if you are unable to be present with us. For half an hour after each service, we offer drive-up communion from our circle drive.
- Additionally, masks are required to enter our building during the week and any visits outside of office hours will be “by appointment” only.
- We will notify the parish of any positive COVID exposure. The intent is to let our parishioners make informed moves regarding their health and that of those around them in light of the possible exposure.
Thanks for your cooperation as we continue our efforts to provide a safe place to worship and work.
