The January newsletter is HERE!

The Omicron variant of COVID19 has become our unwanted companion for this season, and conditions are changing rapidly. Please check back regularly for the updated status of every church service.

If you wish to attend in-person services, please use the registration link above (to sign up for regular notices, send an email admin@stpaulsoakland,org). All services are also live streamed to our Facebook Group page. Please be advised that to participate indoors, you will be required to show proof of full vaccination for COVID 19 upon arrival.

​COVID UPDATE 1/6/22

To participate indoor worship:
  1.  ALL participants over the age of 2 must wear a mask.  Invest in a well-fitting, high filtration face mask such as an N95, KN95 or KN94.  Some of these masks will be available to you on entry if you need one.  To assess your mask fit:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html.  
  2. ALL participants over the age of 12 must show proof of vaccination (2 shots of an MRNA vaccine or 1 shot of the J&J vaccine) to enter.  If you have not previously shown proof of vaccination please bring your vaccine card or other documentation with you.
  3. PLEASE STAY HOME if you have had a known exposure to someone you know or think may have had COVID, or if you are symptomatic (fever, chills, cough, sore throat, headache, congestion)
  4. REGISTER for the service.  Registration will speed your entry to the church.  We will need your email address in the event we need to notify you of a potential exposure.
  5. Please DRESS WARMLY.  Doors and windows in the church will be open, the heater will be on, and high-capacity air purifiers will be operating, which can create a breeze.  
 
The health and safety of people joining us in person is our highest priority.  We have taken every precaution to ensure your safety during worship.  Your decision to participate in indoor worship should be based on your risk tolerance, which should include an assessment of not only your own risk factors but those with whom you are in contact (elderly, immunocompromised or unvaccinated persons).  If you choose not to participate in person you may view the services on our group Facebook page.  We hope to connect with you either in person, on Zoom, or on Facebook.  

Have a blessed and happy Epiphany!

​Meals During Times of Need

Painting of Jesus multiplying and sharing the loaves and fishes
St. Paul’s has a new ministry for our parishioners who need help during times of need (for example: following surgery, severe illness, birth, death, etc.). Getting dinner on the table following a major life event can be so hard, so we want to help each other during those times with prayer and food. A “meal train” connects those needing help with the helpers.
