FROM THE DESK OF PASTOR XIMENA DIAZ-VARAS

Connecticut has implemented a color system to communicate the contagious rates of each town. While Torrington is marked as red, we encourage you to worship from home via our YouTube Channel. Please continue to be vigilant, wear your mask, wash your hands, and watch your distance.
We will continue to monitor the situation each week and adapt as necessary.
We are grateful for all you have done to keep our community safe during this pandemic. We ask you to continue to follow the current protocols:

1. Take your temperature before entering the church. If you have a fever or not feeling well, we ask you to stay at home.
2. Everyone must use a face cover: cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds often while in the building or use hand sanitizer.
3. Family units that live in the same house need to stay together. Stay 6 feet from anyone who does not live with you. This also applies to using the bathrooms and the cry room.
4. Children and youth must stay with their families.
5. Refrain from hugging or shaking hands. Waving or other non-touch signs should take the place of handshaking for the foreseeable future.
6. Follow the usher’s directions! Respect the pews and all areas that are blocked off
7. Refrain from singing
8. Use the offering plate located at the sanctuary entrance to leave your offerings as you exit the service. You can also send your offering by mail.
9. Usage of any area in the building needs to be notified to Lisa Bachetti and approved by trustees. No exceptions.
10. Everyone 65 years of age and older, people with serious health conditions, or caregivers of those
who are high risk are encouraged to discern their risk carefully
