COVID-Related Ministry Updates
Updated 5/24/2021
Wisconsin is no longer under a mask mandate; however, our church family and guests have a variety of perspectives and priorities when it comes to Covid-19. We are attempting to provide options, both for those who prefer not to wear a mask and those who are vulnerable and cannot reasonably attend without masks being required. At the same time, there are many factors beyond our control, and a return to “normal” is going to take time. As we continue navigating the complexities of this unprecedented time, it is important to remember that our unity in Christ is of utmost importance. The essence of the second greatest commandment “to love your neighbor as yourself” is to hold their needs at the same level as your own. This calls for a spirit of goodwill, respect, and grace.
Sunday Services
Masks are required for the 8:15am service, including fellowship time before and after the service. Masks are optional for the 10:00am service.
On July 4th, masks will become optional for both services. The 8:15 service will have a mask-required section in the sanctuary.
Nursery
The nursery is open during the 10:00am service for birth-4K. Masks are optional.
Sunday Morning Classes
Resume in the fall.
Adult Small Groups
Adult small groups will continue meeting during the week. Some groups are in person, and some meet online. Mask requirements are at the discretion of the group. Contact us if you are interested in joining a group.
Midweek will continue to meet on Wednesday nights. Masks are still required.
Safety Precautions
Additional precautions such as social distancing and extra cleaning will be implemented. If there is a confirmed exposure to COVID-19 at any of Friedens’ ministry activities, we will do our best to alert those who participated in that activity.
