Practices for July 2020

• Sunday morning worship services at our normal time of 10:30 a.m. will be held in-person at the church with the following notices:
  • If you are sick, have an elevated temperature, or have continuing contact with someone who is sick, please stay home and use the live-stream.
  • We understand if those in an especially at-risk group (because of age, immune compromise, etc.) choose to stay home and use the live-stream.
  • Those that come in-person should observe social distancing practices to the greatest extent possible.  This includes (but is not limited to):
    • Don’t congregate in the foyer or in the sanctuary either before or after the service; please proceed to a pew before the service and to outside the building after the service.  The officers will be encouraging families to move outside after the service.  Families can socialize outside as they desire.
    • Every other pew will be taped off or otherwise marked as closed to keep an empty row between families that attend in person.
    • Please sit with only your family and try to limit any close contact with other families as much as possible.
    • We will not be using the normal in-pew Bibles or hymnals.  Each family should bring their own copies of the older blue Trinity Hymnals to sing from.  If you do not have one of these (or forget them that Sunday), we will give you a copy to keep or provide a handout with the song reprinted.
    • The nursery room is open for use, but it will not be staffed.  Please don’t gather in there, but you can use it for a quick diaper change or similar need.
    • Masks (in accordance with the CDC recommendations) are encouraged.
    • The offering plate won’t be passed; a plate or other mechanism will be provided at the rear of the sanctuary for people to give to the church as they walk in or out of the service.  (The online option at Tithe.ly is also available for use at https://tithe.ly/give?c=1649525 or checks can still be mailed to the P.O. Box.)
