We invite all persons, especially those who are vaccinated, back into worship on Sunday mornings at 10:30 in our worship space at Wilde Lake Interfaith Center. All guests will stay seated, and masks are encouraged but not required in the IFC for worship. All guests will stay physically and safely distanced in worship. Singing is welcome from the congregation.
However, we ask that you stay home and worship with us virtually via our livestream broadcast at https://wildelakecenter.org/streaming-now/ if you or a member of your household:

We ask that if you have traveled where the COVID positivity rate is 10% or greater, you refrain from in-person worship for 5 days and/or have a negative rapid test result before returning to in-person events, regardless of the Maryland or Howard County COVID positivity rate. We recommend double masking or using the KN95 or N95 masks.
