- Update on In-Person Worship: The Reopening Taskforce met this week, and our assessment is that the public health situation is such that we must continue to postpone the resumption of in-person worship services. At this time, we cannot project when in-person services will resume. The Taskforce will meet in the coming week to reassess the situation, and Session will provide an update after our next meeting on Tuesday November 3.
