The Council would like to resume in-person services this Sunday, December 13th. In order to do this as safely as possible, we are asking everyone to wear a mask and to strictly observe six-foot social distancing. To that end, chairs will be spaced out in the sanctuary. In addition, there will be socially distanced chairs set up in the fellowship hall, where the audio from the sanctuary can be heard through a speaker. Also, a projector has been installed in the fellowship hall to show the slides from the sanctuary on the east wall. At this time, we do not have the capability to deliver a live video from the sanctuary to the fellowship hall projector. However, Pastor Phil will stand in the north entryway of the sanctuary and will speak to those in the sanctuary as well as those in the fellowship hall. These arrangements are new and we will continue to adapt and improve things, as best we can.
We cannot emphasize enough the need to observe six-foot social distancing and respect for others throughout your time in the church. Therefore, we ask that one family member and no more than two people at a time get mail from your boxes. Please be conscious of others by getting your mail as quickly as possible and then move on. Also, there will be boxes to place your offering in at both the north and south entrances. Finally, it will be crucial for these entryways to remain clear. So, if you want to speak with someone, we ask that you move to the back of the fellowship hall or speak with one another outside.
We understand that given your various risks and situations, some of you will choose to stay home. In light of everything, we certainly understand and appreciate this. The video of the Sunday morning service will be “live-streamed” through the church’s FaceBook page and be available at any time through the church’s website.
Our hope is for other church activities to resume on January 10, 2021 with masks and social distancing required. As the time approaches, we will take into consideration the need to follow guidelines from the governor and the status of the pandemic.
It is our desire to continue to meet in person on Sunday mornings and we ask everyone to be diligent in observing six-foot social distancing to help us to do so safely. We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and support throughout this process.
