Regathering Committee: The Committee recommended continuing with current Covid policy. Randy emphasized the need for opportunities to share food and drink as part of our congregational community.  OC discussed this at length and asked the Regathering Committee to set up a policy for determining when and how we can share food and drink again starting with small groups, then large congregational meetings and finally renters. 

Mike led a discussion on when an expanded choir can practice and perform; the special singing masks have arrived. It was agreed that he can start having choir practice and Sunday Services whenever he can practically schedule it.
