Church of the Redeemer recently conducted a survey about how topics related to the on-going pandemic, as we experience it, including masking. The survey received 25 responses.
- Those who responded attended virtually, in-person, and, in several cases, a mix of both.
- All respondents continue to mask at least sometimes. Several indicated that they always mask.
- The vast majority of respondents indicated that they are in favor of continuing to mask.
- Sentiments ranged as to a metric for when masking in the congregation should end was between 0-150 cases per day in a 7-day average. For context, these are the current measured transmission rates in our area (May 6, 2022):
- King County is 900 per day average (40 per day per 100,000 people).
- Snohomish County is 434 per day average (53 per day per 100,000 people).
There were also questions about the re-adoption of the common cup in the Eucharist. That topic will be discussed in a future article.
Church of the Redeemer
Welcome to Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6210 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. We are a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
