Safety Guidelines for Sanctuary Reopening

This Sunday, June 21st, we are reopening the sanctuary for worship! We are taking every precaution to keep each other safe, so things will look a little different. Keep in mind we will continue to have drive-in church at the same time as worship in the sanctuary, 10am, so if you feel safer staying in your car, please do!

Here are a few guidelines to remember: -Masks are required inside the building at all times. If you do not have a mask, we will have some available in the vestibule. If you would rather not wear a mask, you are welcome to stay in your car for drive-in church.

-As you enter, the doors will be propped open and someone will greet you from a safe distance and take your temperature with a “no-touch” thermometer. If you have a temperature over 100 degrees, you will be asked to remain in your car. If you are feeling badly or have any symptoms at all, we ask that you remain in your car or at home until you are feeling better.

-Offering plates will be at both the entrance door and the exit doors.

-An usher will be in the vestibule to seat you safely. Pews will be marked off and you will be seated 6 feet away from all other households.

-It is best if we do not use the bathrooms at all, but if needed, only one person or household may be in the bathroom at a time.

- We will continue to keep the service time shorter so we are not in the building together or in our cars for too long.

-Much like our drive-in services, the worship service will be shorter and will not include any singing.

-We ask that you come in only through the front doors leading into the vestibule and exit the side doors on either side of the building. This helps us keep our distance from one another. Don’t be overwhelmed - it looks like a lot of information, but we will have signs and people to help you every step of the way. We are looking forward to seeing your smiling, mask-wearing faces and are working hard to keep each other safe as we re-enter the sanctuary.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Pastor Wyatt or the deacons and they will be happy to help.

We hope to see you all in the sanctuary or in your cars this Sunday, June 21, at 10am for worship!
