Session has discussed the risk factors and we have discovered that we have way more than herd immunity in terms of vaccines (or should we say flock immunity, we are after all sheep of God’s flock).
We are asking everyone to mask when we are INSIDE throughout worship, only the preacher will unmask when distanced to deliver the message to aid with hearing of the Word.
.In consultation with an interdenominational training approved by the PCUSA and one that we have been using throughout the pandemic (Practical Resources for Churches), we have decided that if you have a vaccine and wish to leave off your mask, OUTSIDE you may. If you are not vaccinated, please wear a mask when we are OUTSIDE. And of course if you are more comfortable wearing a mask in any circumstance we encourage you to do so.

Pastor Katy has enjoyed ministry at New Covenant since 2010, where the church has solidified its community focus. Prior to that she studied both Theology and Christian Formation at Princeton Theological Seminary. She also served as an Assistant Chaplain at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital and as the Christian Educational Coordinator at Bethany Presbyterian at Bloomfield, NJ.
She is an writer and is published in Enfleshed, Sermonsuite, Presbyterian's today and Outlook. She writes prayers, liturgy, poems and public theology and is pursuing her doctorate in ministry in Creative Write and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
She enjoys working within and connecting to the community, is known to laugh a lot during service, and tells as many stories as possible. Pastor Katy loves reading Science Fiction and Fantasy, theater, arts and crafts, music, playing with children and sunshine, and continues to try to be as (w)holistically Christian as possible.
"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal.
Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
