COVID-19 Pandemic Updates

For both our members’ and visitors’ safety, the following precautions will be in place for our in-person worship services:

• Sunday AM Worship will begin at 10:30 AM. Sunday PM Worship will begin at 5:00 PM.
  Sunday AM Bible Class and Wednesday Bible Class will continue to be held online in the interactive broadcast format.
• The elders strongly recommend that everyone attending wears face coverings or masks for the protection of those around you. A limited number of disposable masks may be available for use at the building.
• No touching or extended visiting with others will be permitted.
• The emergency exits on either side of the auditorium may be used to exit at the conclusion of services to allow for additional spacing and multiple pathways to the parking lot.
• Individually sealed communion packs will be provided in the foyer upon entry.
• Every other pew will be closed. The elders trust that households will distance themselves properly, in accordance with CDC and city guidelines.
• Contributions can be placed in a collection box located in the foyer either at arrival or on departure.
• The building will be sanitized between services with extra attention to high touch surfaces (i.e., restrooms, doorknobs, pews, etc.).

These precautions will be in place until further notice.

While we are resuming limited services, this action is not without risk. Public health officials recommend vulnerable people continue sheltering in place. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Elderly individuals over the age of 65
• Individuals with serious underlying health conditions:
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Chronic lung disease
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Asthma
  • Those whose immune system is compromised such as by chemotherapy for cancer and other conditions requiring such therapy

For these individuals, we encourage you to continue complying with the safer-at-home guidelines. All services will continue to be streamed online.

Likewise, if you are not feeling well or have any symptoms (coughing; fever; shortness of breath or trouble breathing; persistent pain, pressure, or tightness in the chest), please do not attend.

We hope these guidelines and procedures will help to keep everyone safe and healthy as we strive to worship the Lord together once more.
