ACOLYTE TRAINING - We will have Acolyte Training on July 25 at 12:30pm for any interested children entering 2nd grade and older. The fall schedule will begin on September 12. Please contact Julie Fought with any questions, text 740-816-5311 or email fought325@yahoo.com
IN-PERSON:
COVID Safety Protocols: In accordance with recent CDC guidance, we are making the following changes:
Masks are optional for those who are fully vaccinated. Masks are still recommended for those who are not, including children under the age of 12.
We have a variety of seating arrangements, keeping families three feet apart.
The nursery is available for up to six children under age 5, and masks are not required. The nursery attendant has been fully vaccinated.
We will continue to sanitize the sanctuary, nursery and restrooms between services.
We will continue to run the HEPA filters to help with proper air circulation.
COMMUNION: Beginning June 27, we will offer two options for Holy Communion during indoor worship services - in person distribution at the altar and individual communion at your seats. For in person distribution, worshippers will be directed to the aisle by an usher, one row at a time, alternating sides of the sanctuary. At the altar, wafers will be served by the pastor using communion tongs to drop the wafer into your hand. You will then take a cup of wine from the tray. These cups will be spaced out in the tray to avoid touching more than one cup. Empty cups will be placed in a bowl on a pedestal as you return to your seats via the side aisles. For those wishing to remain at their seats for communion, individual kits will be available on the table in the gathering space for you to pick up as you enter. After the elements are blessed, worshippers can commune at their seats at the direction of the pastor. For outdoor worship services, we will continue to offer individual kits as you enter the chapel and we will commune together from our seats. We will continue our YouTube livestream worship, Zoom worship and our 11:11 outdoor worship service for those who would like other options. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Pastor Craig, Pastor Wendy or Heather Koon.
