"IN PERSON" WORSHIP GUIDELINES
- Please review prior to attending a worship service -
-
ENTERING THE CHURCH - Enter using the East Entrance doors (parking lot side). FACE MASKS ARE REQUIRED INSIDE THE BUILDING. A greeter will be there to direct you to the Sanctuary using only the stairs on that side. The Narthex will be open for passage but not for gathering. If you need the elevator, an usher will assist you. Hand sanitizer will be provided for your use.
-
ENTERING THE SANCTUARY - You will be given a bulletin containing everything necessary for worship, which you will be asked to take with you at the end of the service. If we are celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion, you willl also receive a sealed packet of elements as you enter. You will be directed to sit in a pew that is marked to provide for social distancing. Family groups may sit together and the balcony is open if you prefer additional distancing.
-
DURING THE SERVICE - There will be an offering plate at the entrance to the Sanctuary where you may place your offering when you enter or at any time during the service. There will be singing during the service, but be mindful of how close you are to others. No hymnals will be used. We will pass the peace by alternate "no-touch" means.
-
LEAVING THE SANCTUARY - At the end of the service, you will be directed to exit the Sanctuary using the West Stairwell (organ side) while maintaining proper distancing, and proceed down the stairs and directly out the West Entrance doors. Please do not congregate inside the building.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep everyone healthy and safe.
