I can't wait to worship with you on Christmas Eve, whether you participate through the livestream or in the sanctuary. We have a beautiful service planned that will be filled with favorite hymns, communion, candlelight, poetry, art, and more! We are blessed to have Whitney McLean creating a painting over the course of the service again this year - something that has become a highlight of my Christmas Eve experience.

I know many of you are concerned about the rise in case numbers as the omicron variant of COVID19 spreads in our community. If you are feeling sick or share a house with those who are unvaccinated, immunocompromised, or at higher risk of severe illness for any other reason, we highly encourage you to worship through the livestream on Facebook or YouTube.

If you are planning to worship in-person, please be aware of the measures that will be in place to ensure a safer experience:

- Masks will be required for everyone in the building age 2+
- The sanctuary will be limited to 50% capacity (~100 people)
- Overflow seating will be available in the fellowship hall
- Our HVAC will run continuously for UV-C air purification
- All staff (including childcare) are fully vaccinated

I appreciate your continued flexibility as we strive to keep each other safe while continuing to be the church together. We are blessed to serve a God who connects us no matter what obstacles may come between us, and I pray we feel that sense of sacred connection as we celebrate the birth of Christ tomorrow!

Grace and Peace,
Russ
