Elder Recommendations Have Changed
The Elders commend the congregation for the way it has responded to the difficulties and uncertainties we faced together the last 14 months. With few exceptions, Members and Attendees responded with grace, love, unity and patience during unusually challenging circumstances. Praise the Lord!
This has been a long journey for us a flock, so the Elders are excited to move to the “individual” approach for our COVID-19 safety precautions printed below. This applies to worship services, LifeGroups and worship related activities.
Symptom Screening: Please do not attend any service or church-function if you have a temperature, a newly developed cough, loss of taste or smell or any other possible symptoms of a contagious illness such as COVID-19, cold, strep or flu.
Hygiene: Please wash and sanitize your hands frequently, especially before shaking hands, hugging, or touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Masks: Masks are no longer recommended for everyone, but individuals are welcome and encouraged to continue wearing a mask if they so desire. Three types of high quality self-protective masks (surgical, KN-95, and N-95) are available free of charge at each of the main entrances.
Social Distancing: Please maintain a minimum of one meter (approx. 3’4”) of social distance from anyone who is wearing a mask. Members should assume that individuals who are wearing a mask also wish to practice social distancing.
We are returning to our normal pre-pandemic procedures of communion and passing the offering plate. Prepackaged communion cups will still be available on the oak tables. Hand sanitizing wipes have been placed in the pew racks and are available for use.
Our goal is to continue to build a congregational culture based upon Romans 12:10: “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor.”
We will continue to follow state requirements for activities that are not related to worship. Please keep this change in prayer and help us finish strong in these last few weeks.
**The 4:00 p.m. higher precaution service will continue to be offered unchanged throughout the summer (or until no longer utilized by the congregation). By mutual consent, masking and social distancing are practiced at all times. We encourage those who are currently livestreaming, and those with ongoing health concerns, to choose this safe, in-person option for worship and fellowship.
