COVID Task Force Report #4

At a special called meeting on April 4, 2022, the NYAPC Session affirmed the church’s current COVID-19 policy, including the following adjustments: 

• Masking requirements are maintained for worship services and other church events inside the building. The head of staff may provide exceptions for one-time space rentals to outside groups.
• Choir members remain masked except for soloists with more extended parts who have tested prior to performing.
• Coffee fellowship and fellowship events following worship services must be held outdoors. 
• Food and drink may be served at events inside the building where no children under five are present, and masks may be removed while actively eating and drinking.  
• In conversation with the COVID-19 Task Force, the Session will identify metric(s) for when and how to move the church toward mask-optional policies. 

As always, please continue to provide feedback, ask COVID related questions or share COVID related concerns at taskforce@nyapc.org.
