Safety Rules for Worship Services: 

​

*Any individual experiencing an illness of any kind or does not feel comfortable in a crowd, should not attend live church services*.

​

As of July 4, 2021, the Board has modified the Covid restrictions for church services and Celebration of Life activities.  Please click this link to review the new restrictions:   Lessening Covid Restrictions

​

These changes go into effect as soon the appropriate committees can execute the changes.  Changes that affect the Sunday worship service will go into effect on July 4, 2021.

​

Until July 4th, the rules below remain in place:

​

• Temperature taking is not required.  Wearing of masks when entering, leaving, and moving about the church will continue.

• To accommodate comfort levels so all congregants will feel safe returning to worship services, the sanctuary will be sectioned for all services, as follows: 

  • ​Section 1 (right side of sanctuary when facing altar):  Mask wearing at all times is mandatory.  Social distancing (as is currently being practiced) is mandatory. ​​

  • Section 2 (center section of sanctuary):  Masks may be removed after seating.  Social distancing (as is currently being practiced) is mandatory. 

  • Section 3 (left side of sanctuary):  Masks may be removed after seating. Social distancing is not required.

• Fellowship Hour after worship services will resume.  Beverages will be served outside under the portico.  In the case of inclement weather, Fellowship Hour will be canceled.  Since this will occur outdoors, wearing of masks is not required.

• Church committee meetings and other church gatherings held at the church facility may resume.  Masks, sanitizing, temperature-taking, distancing and other restrictions are optional and at the discretion of the committee/group members. 

​
