Dear Friends,
As we begin a new month, I am reminded of writing you all a very difficult message in March of 2020. We did not know much about coronavirus at the time, and nobody could have expected its impact locally, nationally, and internationally. It was such a joy to return to in-person worship ten months ago, but it was also necessary to put several safety measures in place. The St. Mark Session has monitored the situation carefully throughout the pandemic. Due to the widespread access to vaccines and the falling transmission numbers in our area, the Session unanimously approved a motion to make masking optional for all activities effectively immediately. The one exception is Claymont Preschool which is allowed to make its own safety decisions.
We will continue to provide a section in our sanctuary with pews blocked off for social distancing. Masks will be required in these areas. We appreciate your care, your patience, and your mutual forbearance as we continue to navigate, with God’s help, these uncertain times. The Session will continue to monitor the situation moving forward. Please contact the church office with any questions.
In Hope and Confidence,
Pastor Dave
