The Session voted unanimously to lift more covid protocols, including reopening all pews on March 27 and permitting worshipers to once again move about the Sanctuary during the Passing of the Peace starting April 3. Passing of communion trays in the pews was approved to resume April 3 or May 1, depending upon availability of preparers and servers.
In other business:
- A Congregational Meeting was set for April 3 to elect Jan Keister and Cindy Pettit to serve as at-large members of the Nominating Committee. They would join already-elected at-large members Dave Carmean and Chip Garner.
