Plans have changed…
Due to an upsurge in COVID-19 cases in our county since this plan was first posted, we have needed to revise our Easter plans. The information on this page is out of date. You can read the current announcement here.
We are pleased to announce that we are intending to hold Easter Sunday worship services in the sanctuary, safely and in person, on Sunday April 4th! Worship services will be held at 9:00 am and 10:30 am to accommodate as many people as possible in a safe manner.
Pre-registration, face masks and social distancing are required. Pews will be marked to ensure proper distancing. Entrance to the sanctuary will be from the narthex and exit out the door near the library. Windows on both sides will be open to provide safer air flow.
Live-streaming of the worship service will be available on You Tube and via Zoom at 10:30 am and will be posted at goodshepherdlife.org.
All who are fully COVID 19 vaccinated* will be able to attend and in addition, up to 25 other people who are not yet fully vaccinated will be able to attend each of the two services. Everyone must pre-register!
If you want to attend in person on Easter Sunday, here’s what you will want to do. Contact Donna Wenger in the church office either by phone or via email – no later than 3:00pm on Thursday, April 1, 2021. You will need to provide information regarding the number of people in your party, the service time that you are interested in attending, and if you and/or others in your party have been fully vaccinated, you will need to provide information regarding your vaccination date(s).
We are delighted to be able to offer in person worship with Holy Communion on Easter Sunday. We are also continuing to act with caution and care for our members and our community in establishing precautions to ensure safety for all. As has been the case throughout the pandemic, the Congregation Council will continue to monitor the trends in Allegheny County and surrounding communities and if there is any change to this plan, we will let you know.
* Fully vaccinated – is defined as being 2 weeks after having received the \second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or 1 dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
