Friends of Portland Mennonite Church,
On Wednesday (1-12), in consultation with medical professionals in our congregation, PMC’s Leadership Table made the decision to pause meeting together for in-person worship services through the end of January (January 16, 23, and 30).
Please join us on Zoom or Facebook Live.
On February 6, PMC will return to in-person and online worship on Sunday mornings. OHSU is projecting that Omicron hospitalizations will peak on February 1, so we feel that we can responsibly return to in-person worship on the 6th.
PMC will continue to require masks or face coverings during worship services and other gatherings open to the public. The best masks to protect against the Omicron variant, according to public health experts, are tight-fitting masks with efficient filtration like the N95 and KN95 masks or wearing two masks at once – a disposable surgical mask followed by a snug-fitting cloth mask. PMC will have KN95 masks available on Sunday mornings.
If you feel sick, we ask that you stay home and to get tested at the first sign of COVID-related symptoms. The best way to ease the burden on our hospitals is for everyone who is eligible to get the full COVID-19 vaccination series and booster (and a flu shot), which we strongly encourage you to do as a practical way to seek the peace of the city.
Grace and peace to you,
PMC Leadership Table
