Administrative response to Coronavirus Updates:
Passed on 2/4/21, effective immediately:
While this is certainly not a decision that the Jackson Park Ad Council wants to pass and enforce, we believe that this will help keep others safe, and we look forward to do a day when face coverings or masks or serve no vitality for indoor gatherings.
- Anyone who enters Jackson Park UMC's indoor facilities or other church property must properly wear a face covering the entire time they are occupying the building.
- The only exception to this are staff members who are working alone in their offices, or drive-in participants while they are seated in their cars.
