so we have certain requirements:
1. Masks are optional based upon your preference and health needs.
2. If you are sick, have a cold, or have any COVID-19 or variant symptoms, please stay at home, and give us a call for prayer and ministry.
3. Please continue to use Hand Sanitizer provided, wash hands for 20 seconds more frequently, and cover coughs or sneezes for the health of all.
Our Worship time is 11:00 am in the Sanctuary! Doors close at 11:10.
Bible Study (Sunday School) begins at 9:30 am in the Fellowship Hall, first floor.
What else should I expect?
* Masks (& gloves) are still available. Hand Sanitizer Stations are at entry and exit.
* Use discretion when loading the elevator: no more than 3 at a time preferred. Please plan extra waiting time after arrival.
* A friendly group goes out to lunch at a local restaurant.
* Disposable Communion cups/wafers are available to pick up upon entry 1st Sunday of each month.
* A regular offering tray (on the white column) is inside Sanctuary; please place your envelopes, checks or cash contributions there. We will continue this process indefinitely. A Benevolence Tray on the entry table to serve others in need.
* Pick up your bulletin as you enter through middle or back entrance doors.
* The staff cleans and sanitizes the church; bathrooms, door knobs and railings are cleaned by volunteers before and after service, but we need helpers!
* Our congregational small size, large Sanctuary, your cooperation, and filtration, means that our building, with outdoor fresh air intake vents, is safe to gather. Doors and windows are opened periodically to increase fresh air exchanges.
Please choose wisely based on your health, your risk factors and wisdom.
We are praying with/for you!
