Epiphany COVID-19 Update as of July 2nd, 2021
As of June 30th, most of Washington State COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, and the state is opening up. But Covid-19 and its variants are still very much around and will be part of our lives for some time to come.
Of importance to many people are masks and whether or not they still need to wear them. Unfortunately the answer from local, state, and federal authorities is not as clear as we would like; there are still places that require masks by federal mandate, and stores and businesses are allowed to set their own policies with regards to wearing masks.
Please visit https://kingcounty.gov/depts/health/covid-19/safereopen.aspx to review the current Washington State mask rules in place.
We have adjusted the guidelines at Epiphany to reflect the current state executive orders and have listed them below so you can make the best decision for you and your family.
Epiphany’s current guidelines are as follows:
- Masks are no longer required if you are fully vaccinated*. (*Fully vaccinated: 2 weeks out from 2nd shot of either Pfizer or Moderna or 2 weeks out from 1 shot of Johnson and Johnson vaccines)
- Masks are still required indoors for those aged 5 years and up who are not fully vaccinated.
- We will respect those who wish to continue wearing masks.
- We will no longer be doing health screening or temperature checks as you enter the building, but do ask that if you feel unwell or ill to please stay home for the safety of others.
- The 6’ social distancing guidelines are removed. All pews are available for seating
- The pews with the white tape are reserved for Worship Leaders and Assistants.
As we are in this transitioning period of fully opening and returning to our regular routines and activities, people will be moving at their own pace as to what is comfortable to them to feel safe.
We show grace to those who are ready to move forward.
We show grace to those who still have caution.
We show grace from beginning to end.
We move forward together in love and understanding as the children of God.
Epiphany Leadership.

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
