2021 SMA Garden Market Cancellation

It is with sadness that we share that the 2021 St. Mary Anne’s Garden Market is being cancelled this year due to the pandemic.  Progress is being made with vaccinations and we currently have other hopeful signs regarding the pandemic’s metrics that give us hope that we may be turning another corner on this pandemic.  However, we are unable to predict when the Governor and our Diocese will change policy that precludes large gatherings, and when people will feel safe and willing to attend them.  We look forward to possibilities later this year to replace this important event and fundraiser and look forward to making the 2022 Garden Market extra special.

We continue with our COVID Protocols:

• We require all attendees to wear a mask during church services.
• Hand sanitizers are available in visible locations.
• Social distancing is required and we limit services to 25 participants (not including worship team) at this time.
• We do not share the chalice (wine) and distribute wafers only.
• Singing without a mask is not allowed at this time.
• We installed an HVAC air purification system in the church that destroys 99% of all viruses, bacteria, allergens and mold.
• We also utilize an electrostatic sanitizer between services.
• All church activities that involve food and beverages are not allowed at this time.
• The majority of our meetings are accomplished over Zoom.

We are confident that our aggressive protocols provide a safe worship experience.
