I ask that everyone who joins us in-person be vaccinated. If you have a reason for not being vaccinated, please contact the Priory. For those of you who have only ever joined us online, when visiting in-person for the first time, please come 15 minutes early, and come to the front door. For those who are unable to join us in-person, and wish to continue to join us online, please contact me for more information. There are no fees for participation in any Priory activities. We are solely supported (Priory Support) by kind donations from our congregation and friends. Please call before visiting the Priory (Contact). Your Thoughtful Behavior would be appreciated.

If you are, or think that you might be, sick with something that you might pass on to others, please don’t come until you are no longer contagious. I ask that all who come have been vaccinated. If you have a reason for not being vaccinated, please contact the Priory.

For services, please wear nice, dignified, respectful, clothing—something loose enough to comfortably meditate and bow in. Tight or revealing clothing, as well as T-shirts, shorts, or clothing that ‘makes a statement’ (with slogans, advertising, styling, etc.) are not appropriate. Please minimize scents: perfume, after-shave, laundry, etc. For work days, wear modest work clothes. Know that you might be working outside, so keep that in mind when dressing, and bring work gloves and head protection
