Resuming In-Person Worship

In-person worship is resuming on February 28th at 9:00 am. As of May 30th, worship reservations are no longer required. We are well aware that many of you will not feel comfortable resuming in-person worship. We respect that perspective and further we do not recommend participation in this service if you are in a vulnerable category.  We will continue to make worship available in a variety of platforms so that anyone who wishes to worship will be able to do so. Below you will find all of the options for worship as well as what is required to participate.  

 

In Person Worship:

• We will leave it to your discretion whom you feel comfortable sitting with.  Please sit in designated pews and maintain at least six feet from other household groups.

• If the worship limit has been reached

• All participants are required to wear a mask and adhere to social distancing. We will trust you to self-screen yourself before entering the building.  If you are running a fever or feeling ill in any way – we ask that you stay home. Also, if you have been exposed to anyone with Covid-19 or to someone who is awaiting test results for Covid-19 we ask that you not enter the church building.

• The parking lot door will be the only door open for entry and exit. As you enter you will be checked off the reservation list, you will pick up a communion packet which will be laid out on a nearby table, and you will be seated in a designated pew.

• Please note that even as we try to keep the service as close to normal as possible, there will be noticeable differences.  There will be limited congregational speaking and no singing.  Yeah, it’s a bummer.

• After the service is over you will be dismissed by family group and asked to follow the signs leading you out of the building. We ask that any socializing happen outside with great attention paid to social distancing.

​

Radio Worship Service

• As noted above there will be a radio broadcast of the service available to those who are parked just outside of the church, either in the parking lot or on the street.

• Just tune your radio to 88.5 and you can sing your heart out.  Communion and bulletins will also be available for anyone who would like to participate. Just stay in your car and someone will bring these items to you.

​

Online Worship Service

• Our online worship will continue to be available. As we begin in-person worship we will stream it through Youtube.  You will still be able to find the service by going to the same page that you have previously gone to.  There will be a link taking you to the live-stream. 

• Following the online service, drive-through communion will be available to anyone who would like it until 10:15 am. Pastor Gretchen will set up a distribution station on the Monument Park side of the church.
