When we return to in-person gatherings for worship, we will do so with the following parameters. If you have suggestions or concerns, please include them in the survey.
Proposed Parameters:
– Masks required for all participants (a supply will be available for guests)
– Temperature check at entrance for all attendees
– A controlled entrance and exit flow with one entrance and one exit (except for emergencies)
– Ushers to guide the flow of traffic and seating in the sanctuary to maintain social distancing
– Social distancing of at least six feet, which will include spaced apart seating in the sanctuary (families remain together)
– Telephone or on-line reservations for worship attendance due to reduced capacity to maintain social distancing. (Keep us posted on how to reach you should contact-tracing be necessary, if it is later discovered that a case of COVID-19 was present during worship.)
– Only one worship leader singing (no congregational singing)
– Music, scripture, and worship order projected on screen (no bulletins, hymnals, or pew bibles)
– Bring your own communion (kits of cup and wafer provided for guests)
– Meet only for worship, you will be guided in exiting the building after the service
– Shorter worship service
– Doors to the outside left open during service (for air circulation)
– Restrooms will be sanitized before worship
– Only one person in the room at a time. Sanitizers and soap will be available in the restroom.
– Water fountains not in service (members bring own water bottle, bottles available for guests)
– Welcome area not available for gathering, food, or coffee
– Nursery not open
