In-person worship resumes on Ash Wednesday, February 17
In-person worship resumes on Ash Wednesday, February 17
We will leave the choice to attend in person worship to each individual and family. No one should feel pressured into doing anything that would compromise their individual health or safety.
Disinfecting wipes, antibacterial soaps, and cleaning supplies are available throughout the building. Public use areas will be disinfected following worship.
Alternating pews are marked off to promote social distancing.
Face masks must be worn by all worship leaders and the congregation members for the entire service. Disposable face masks are available for persons entering the church without them. If someone is unable to wear a face mask during worship due to a medical condition, they may be asked to worship from the rotunda. Persons refusing to wear a mask will not permitted into the building.
There will be music during worship, but we ask you to refrain from singing, due to the increased risk of spreading virus droplets through the air.
Hand-shaking and physical touch will be prohibited.
Worship bulletins will be placed on a table in the narthex.
The offering plates will not be passed. A collection box will be placed in the rear of the sanctuary.
Holy Communion will be distributed to congregants via stations, with one pew dismissed at a time. Please do not queue up in a single line.
Records of persons in attendance at events will be maintained in the church offices, so that, if a participant tests positive, we can notify those who may have been in contact with them.
The clothing closet will remain closed to the public until further notice. Anyone in need of clothing is encouraged to contact the church office for an appointment.
