Beginning on August 6, 2021, Faith Lutheran Church will follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation that everyone, including fully vaccinated individuals, wear a mask in public indoor settings to help prevent the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19. Summit County is now designated as an area of substantial spread.
The guidelines approved for Faith Lutheran Church by the Church Council during a special meeting on August 5 are:
- Masks must be worn inside the building by both those who are vaccinated and unvaccinated.
- Prior social distancing protocols for worship will be reinstated.
- The Kinship Café will be suspended temporarily.
- Groups meeting in the church are asked to social distance, as feasible.
When the spread level in Summit County returns to the moderate level, or lower, the Church Council will meet to discuss these guidelines.
