HEALTH GUIDELINES
Given the rising numbers of cases of COVID, RSV, and flu, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is highly recommending that people wear masks during indoor gatherings. We request that you remain masked inside the church building and follow all health protocols for airborne diseases, whether you are vaccinated or not. Masks will be available for your use at the entrance to the Sanctuary.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We gather on the unceded ancestral lands of the Gabrielino-Tongva and Kizh Nation peoples. We respectfully acknowledge these peoples as the traditional caretakers of this land and honor their ongoing presence among us. We are grateful for the opportunity that we have been given to come together on this land for worship and fellowship.
