Plan for Reopening
We are reopening the church building for in person Worship this Sunday June 7, 2020
10:15 am
However, we are limited in the number of people we can have. So, you must make reservations on the web or call Kathy at 330-8581. All persons will be asked to wear face coverings and maintain the 6 feet social distancing.
Your temp will be taken at the door and you will be given a dollup of hand sanitizer.
If you are 65+ or have any medical vulnerabilities we encourage you to stay home at this time. That will include
Pastor Keith and Kathy. We do not want you to compromise your health. In 14 days, when we see how things are going, the CDC will reevaluate the transmission rate of COVID 19 and give us further guidelines.
Please arrive no earlier than 10 min. The parking lot will not be ready until then.
Please no close person talking, hugging, hand shaking, or roaming the building. Try to maintain the 6 ft distancing. There are no children’s classes as yet. So kids will need to sit with their parents. Also leave the building within 10 min after the service to accommodate the next church’s timeline for set up. We have 5 churches meeting at our building on Sunday. The Worship Service at the building will also be live streamed on the facebook page for those who decide to stay home.
We are still having live stream services on facebook.
Sunday 10:15 am
Wednesdays at 6:45 pm
The FIRST FIVE with Pastor Brody is still daily on facebook and the church web page.
The phone calling system is still in place. You should be getting a call from a volunteer caller in the church every two weeks to see how you are doing.
