Our covid guidelines:
Here are some things you can expect (or not expect) when you return to our sanctuary:
1. First, and most importantly, we recommend that all folks who are in the most vulnerable group (over 65 with a "co-morbidity") who are unvaccinated continue to worship online from home.
We are most concerned for your health.
2. We will provide masks in the Narthex for those that want them.
Masks are encouraged but not mandatory.
3. We encourage folks to follow Social Distancing guidelines during worship.
Luckily we have more than enough seating in our Sanctuary, which makes this part easy!
You might even sit closer to the front...
4. We will minimize the opportunity to touch things in worship. Therefore, we will not be passing offering plates, and our "greeting time" during service will be done differently.
Also, we will be doing communion differently to encourage social distancing.
There are boxes at the entry and exit points for your tithes and offerings, and we continue to encourage online giving.

5. The congregation will once again be invited to sing hymns, though it is recommended that those who choose to do so wear a mask and socially distance.
6. We have resumed our "Fellowship Time" after worship, and we encourage those who are vaccinated, and feel comfortable, to join us for coffee and fellowship. We have arranged seating to allow for social distancing, and ask that folks use their best judgement while socializing.
7. Our Wednesday Night Fellowship Dinners are on hold until further notice.
Our Bible Study is also currently on hold, but we are working to get that started again soon!
Some will think that these parameters are too strict, and some will think it is crazy to meet at all. We have tried to strike a balance and will adjust as we see how things work.
We would appreciate your patience, support, and feedback.
If you would like to share your feedback or voice any concerns, please contact the Pastor directly.
Thank you for your patience, support, and prayers!
