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: There are two options for Holy Communion during indoor worship services - in person distribution at the altar and individual communion at your seats.
8:00 am service: 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. Empty cups will be placed in a bowl on a pedestal as you return to your seats via the side aisles.
9:30 am service: We will commune at two stations with each side coming up the side aisle to receive the bread and wine, then returning to their seats via the center aisle. Please follow the direction of the ushers.
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.
