From Seatttle-The shutdowns of worship were directed by Etienne and Episcopal Bishop Greg Rickel, in accordance with Gov. Jay Inslee's limit of 250 persons at public gatherings. "While I cannot disclose details we do, in fact, now have several of our churches affected directly with some of the people in quarantine," Rickel wrote.
Such services as the 10 a.m. Sunday mass at St. James draw a heavy turnout of elderly worshippers, who are especially vulnerable to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Other places of worship in the Puget Sound area are likewise live streaming, Temple de Hirsch with its Shabbat services, Seattle's First United Methodist Church with its Sunday morning worship. The Cedar Park Church in Bothell is doing online worship. Likewise, Seattle First Baptist Church is having online worship only, and Sunday printed a sermon by Rev. Dr. Tim Phillips, along with Psalm 95 ("We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care").
