MASK POLICY


The Official Board at Calvary looked at mask policies of other United churches as well as other settings and weighed the benefits of masks vs the benefits of being able to strengthen our social connections. With all these things in mind, we have  a "Masks-are-recommended" policy.


People entering the building are no longer required to wear a mask. Many of us will continue to wear a mask and all are encouraged to make their choice based on their own comfort level. and their concern for the people around them.
