A Note from the Warden

Dear Friends of St. Paul’s,

We hope you have enjoyed the pre-recorded services that you have been viewing on Sunday mornings.  Soon we will be able to meet in church again, but we will continue to offer this for a time, since we know some of you may not be comfortable entering the church building.  In addition, the Diocese will be streaming worship via their website.  If you are unable to view either one, please contact me, and I will do my best to help you.
While we have been given permission to start worshiping together in July, there is still a lot to be done to prepare our building for this, and to follow the many  precautions put forth by the Diocese.   Since the first Sunday in July is a National Holiday weekend, our initial gathering as a group will be Sunday, July 12th.  Once we have more information about the protocols and precautions, we will send it out.
Sincerely,
Amy

Our St Paul’s Family

REOPENING GUIDELINES RELEASED

Dear People of God in Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania:

In mid-March, when we suspended in-person worship, none of us could have imagined the ways the world was about to change or what would be required of us in response. Throughout these long months, you have been resilient, flexible and collaborative as we have gathered for online worship, raised more than $21,000 to feed first responders and people in need, rallied to stand against racial injustice, and begun to discern the mission to which our church might be called in a postpandemic world.

(Note this is an edited version of the notice on the WNYPA website: Click HERE for the full text of Bishop Sean’s message.)

…although returning to in-person worship is permissible beginning July 5, I do not recommend that most congregations do so. Reopening our buildings for worship can present a significant risk, particularly to clergy and laypeople aged 65 and older and to those with underlying health conditions. It will require extensive work and possible expense to comply with the cleaning and disinfecting protocols outlined in this document. You have my full support if you judge that continuing to worship online is the best choice for your congregation, and I will continue to host Sunday online worship with leaders from across the diocese for the foreseeable future.Whether your congregation chooses to reopen or decides to continue gathering online, my staff and I are available to support you as you review the recommendations and requirements in this document, and consider how you might collaborate with colleagues and diocesan neighbors to continue serving the people of God. Thank you, as always, for your faithfulness to God’s mission in our region.

Faithfully,
