We are pleased to worship together in our sanctuary! We care about you and strive to keep you and your family safe and healthy. To maintain this environment, we have adopted the following safeguards:
• The sanctuary is disinfected prior to each service
• All members are encouraged to bring and wear their own masks. We will have disposable masks for those who need them.
• We observe social distancing in our sanctuary, which means limiting the number of attendees to 42 each service.
• Hand sanitizer is available in the Narthex for your use.
• The offering baskets are in the Narthex. Offerings can be placed there upon entering or leaving the service.
• Doors will be left open until the start of service, so you don’t have to touch them.
• There are no hymnals in the pews, however prior to each service bulletins are placed in the pews for your use.
• Attendees are asked not to sing during the service. Parts of the liturgy are sung by the Pastor and Minister of Music only.
• Please wait for the ushers to invite you to communion row by row. Communion practices are as follows: Wafers are kept covered until distribution to keep them sanitary; The Pastor gives out the wafers as people approach with outstretched hands; Cups of wine are distanced in trays for those who wish it.
• There is no fellowship after either service

*If you do not feel well or you are uneasy being out among people, please remain home and join us on Facebook & YouTube where videos are posted of Sunday Services. On-line bulletins are sent each Friday via email for you to follow along.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the church office.
