COVID-19 Update May 14, 2021

Yesterday, the CDC updated their mask guidelines. Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks in any setting. You can read the details of the changes here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html

Pennsylvania’s mask guidelines defer to the CDC recommendations, and therefore do not require vaccinated individuals to wear masks any longer.

At Hope, the elders have decided to update our mask requirements accordingly:

Masks are now optional.

For many, it will be a joy to finally worship our Lord without wearing a mask! We are excited that our church has taken this important step past the pandemic. However, it is important to clarify that this is not a “mask-less mandate.” If anyone feels uncomfortable taking their mask off, you can continue to wear your mask. We still have masks available for anyone who needs them.
