Sanctuary Guidelines for In-Person Worship

To ensure the safety and well-being of everyone, please follow these guidelines when attending worship in person:

Entering the Church

  • Sanitize your hands at the entrance.

  • Please wear a mask at all times inside the sanctuary.

  • Sign in with an usher or a Re-Entry Committee member for contact tracing purposes.

  • No eating or drinking is allowed in the sanctuary.

Seating Arrangements

  • Seating is limited to marked pews to maintain social distancing.

  • Please do not lower the cushions.

  • The front pews are reserved for the Media Team only.

Offerings

  • You can place your offerings in the offertory box, or use any of the usual electronic giving methods.

Worship Practices in the Sanctuary

  • Hymns will be played, but we ask that you listen rather than sing.

  • The Passing of the Peace will be done from your pew to maintain physical distance.

  • We will recite the Doxology and Gloria Patri instead of singing.

  • During the Lord's Prayer, we will remain in our pews and pray together as one community.
