Return to In-Person Worship 10/31

Tab Family!

I’m excited to share the news with you that we will be gathering again for in-person worship at Tab starting October 31st, 2021. 

After 19 months of virtual worship, this is a long-awaited big step for us! Can somebody say amen? 

The Transition team met this past week and we made this decision for a variety of reasons including: We are a highly vaccinated congregation, and we are able to take many steps to mitigate the risk of spreading Covid. We have a plan in place for socially distanced seating in the sanctuary, and we are making changes to our worship services so that we can abide by our community safety agreements (detailed here). 

We also realized that waiting for case counts to be at 10 cases or less per 100, 000 would likely not be attainable any time soon. And we felt that it was time to take this step especially since we are already doing these kinds of communal activities in other areas of our lives (work, school, etc). 

More information will be coming to you soon, including a welcome video outlining community guidelines that the staff is creating to put on our website and social media. You can watch and share that video and invite friends to worship with us! 

And please know that it is okay if you do not feel ready –or can’t for whatever reason– join us in person. We will continue to offer the opportunity to worship via zoom (same link as always). It will not be the same, I know, but it will still be an important way of connecting with our Creator and with the Tab community. 

We ask for your patience and grace as we move into this next phase of our community life together. We are working this out as we go. I’m so grateful to be in this transition time with each of you. 

In love,

Pastor Katie (and on behalf of Transition Team)
