COVID 19 Updates and Policies

As of May 15th, and in accordance with the updated CDC community guidelines, Loudoun County is now at the medium/yellow level as the new variant continues to spread. As such, St. David's has updated our policy to the following with changes highlighted in italics: 

• While still optional at worship services, masks are now more strongly encouraged. 
• For now, we will not host in-person coffee hour after church services. (Please note that, when it returns, volunteers are needed following the 11am service to clean up following the coffee hour.) 
• Please be more mindful of contact with fellow parishioners during the passing of the Peace – respecting the wishes of your neighbors.  
• We will consistently use paper cups to distribute the communion wafer. 
• For now, we will suspend passing the collection plate.   
• The common cup will not be used for communion. 
• Masks are still optional in the church office building. 
• Masks will continue to be mandatory in the preschool building and classrooms. Therefore, during school hours, masks will be required in the church building.  

• We encourage all parishioners to stay up to date with COVID vaccines and boosters. 
• For individuals who choose to remain masked, CDC recommends wearing well-fitting disposable surgical masks and KN95 masks for the best protection. 
• Please follow CDC recommendations for isolation and quarantine, including getting tested if you are exposed to COVID-19 or have symptoms of COVID-19. 
• Please stay safe!
