COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES
Updated Dec. 14, 2020
COVID-19 numbers are going up across the United States. We continue to follow Minnesota Dept. of Health guidelines for the safety of our staff and members and will update this page with changes.
Baptisms and funerals: Due to the current, serious health threat imposed by in-person, indoor activities, we are saddened to have to suspend all indoor gatherings and/or meetings at this time. Please feel free to contact us to discuss scheduling a service for when it is safe to gather indoors again.
Staff and building: The church office and building remain closed, and we are working from home as much as possible for safety purposes. We are monitoring phone messages Monday - Thursday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. - noon and are available by email anytime during these hours. If you need to contact us, or have essential church business and need access to the building, call us at 612-729-2323 and leave a message, or email us.
In the church building the following safety precautions remain in effect:

In the church building the following safety precautions remain in effect:
- The building remains closed to meetings and gatherings – including the courtyard.
- Staff will continue to limit hours worked in the building, staggering times whenever possible.
- If you have an essential need related to the church and need to be in the building, schedule your visit through Sue Hamre, office@lakenokomis.org.
- Use one of two entrances: the office door (door #4), and Keewaydin/Sacristy door (door #1).
- Use the sanitizers and masks provided if you do not have your own.
- Sign in and out at the entrance to the door. Staff must keep a log of their time in the building. This is especially important as the school side of the building has reopened to teachers and staff and students are scheduled to return on a hybrid plan on September 14.
- Face masks must be worn by everyone while in the building, except for staff in their private office spaces.
The COVID-19 Task Force includes Barb Tauferner, William Awe, Jodi Gustafson, Sue Hamre, and Erica Larson.
