For in-person worship, our guiding principle remains to follow common sense risk reduction guidance for as long as we remain in a declared public health pandemic, so to keep our community safe and well, our in-person worship guidelines include:

• Masks are required indoors on the All Saints campus (as of 12/8/22), because of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County, to protect the most vulnerable.
• Masks are optional outdoors.
• Both outdoor and indoor seating is available for services and communion will be served in both locations.
• Our expectation is that those entering the church will be vaccinated (if vaccination is available to them)
• Those who choose to be unvaccinated are requested to participate online.
• Those seated indoors are asked to maintain social distance between individuals/households.
• If we reach seating capacity in the church, ushers will guide you to alternative seating areas.
• We ask you not enter if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: fever over 100.4°F or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, or if you have had contact in the last 14 days with someone diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID- 19.
