From: Archdeacon Tanya Phibbs Date: Sat, Oct 10, 2020 at 11:59 AM Subject: AMBER Stage FAQ #5 To: ... AMBER Stage FAQ #5 As the COVID-19 case counts increase in our province, Bishop Todd and your diocesan leadership continue to monitor the situation. Following our AMBER Stage guidelines minimizes the risk of COVID-19 transmission in our churches, however, that risk is not zero. Please do not feel that you must attend in-person worship if you are in any way uncomfortable doing so. It is also perfectly acceptable to refrain from receiving the Eucharist at this time should you have concerns with receiving. 1. Face coverings/masks: members of the congregation are to leave their face covering in place throughout the service, including while in their seat. The face covering is only to be removed when consuming communion. Not only is this diocesan policy, it is explicitly stated in the directives of some of the public health units. Some public health units also differ from others on which face coverings are appropriate; please check your local unit's website to be sure that your church is complying with their direction. 2. Service length: it is important that service length be no more than 45 minutes for a Eucharist and 30 minutes for a Service of Word. Further information and suggestions for shaping liturgies in this time will be sent to clergy and wardens next week. 3. Heating systems: our Land and Property Committee has shared some helpful advice regarding last week's FAQ on heating. Our Diocese has advised us to minimize the use of furnaces and fans because of the potential for circulating air to also circulate the virus. To minimize the discomfort from cold, the following procedure is recommended. Turn the heat up two hours prior to the start of your service. Choose a temperature setting higher than usual that is still comfortable. The reason for turning the heat up early is that you want time for the heat to warm walls, floor and furnishings, not just the air. The walls floor and furnishings will act as a heat reservoir and will keep your space warmer for longer as a result. Conversely, if you turn the heat up just before the service starts, the walls, floor and furnishings are still cold, and will drag the temperature of the air back down quickly. Adjust the recommended two hour timing to suit your particular building based on your experience.. As coat racks in narthexes are not to be used, your congregation will have their coats in church with them which will be helpful as they may need them later in the service, even though it is nice and warm to start. While this weekend will be hard for many of us who will be missing our extended families that we would usually gather with, there is still much for which to thank God. May you have a blessed Thanksgiving! Tanya+ The Ven. Tanya Phibbs Archdeacon of Huron
