Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the St. Paul United Church of Christ leadership has taken this virus seriously and has followed local, state, and federal guidelines as well as listened to the science informing the public on the need for mitigations.
Due to increasing cases and the Omicron variant, we have made some adjustments to our guidelines.
First of all, we will be canceling coffee hour this Sunday and throughout January, and the Culinaires' Breakfast will also be canceled on January 16. Future plans beyond next month will be evaluated at the beginning of January.
Secondly, we will be reinstituting physical distancing in the sanctuary for worship and wherever possible in our building. Beginning on Friday evening, we will ask that our congregants be seated every-other pew.
State guidelines on masks have been renewed. Masks are mandated at all times while in the St. Paul UCC building. If you are unable to wear masks over both your nose and mouth, you can watch our service online on Facebook, YouTube, or on our website (stpaulucc.org). Sunday morning services are also broadcast live on Jubilee 690AM.

It is important that we can continue to have worship in person if possible. By instituting these practices, we believe we can continue to do so safely.
Thank you for your help in keeping the St. Paul United Church of Christ community safe during the holidays and into the new year!
Blessings,
Dr. Steve Schmidt, Council President
