CHURCH SERVICES RESUMED JUNE 21, 2020
1. Do NOT come if you are feeling ill (for example: you have a cough, sniffles, bad headache
or just feel sickly; however, if you just have allergies – it is pollen season – you are free to come).
2. Please, make sure when you come that you come in - the normal front door,
BUT leave by the mail-slot door (left, as you leave through the door facing south).
3. As you enter the church, please wash your hands with the hand sanitizer available there for you. When you leave wash them again. Avoid touching your face.
4. Those living in the same house may sit together, but you must stay the 6 feet or 2 meters apart from others with whom you do not live at all times - coming & going, too.
5. Wear a mask upon your arrival at the church, during Service & as you leave - for the safety of others who may be vulnerable to the virus. **Mandatory MASK BYLAW is in effect**
6. There will be no greeters until the pandemic is no longer a threat.
7. Due to possible spray from our mouths, singing is permitted but masks must remain on.
Holy Communion will be done in a different way than usual. It is what is known as “continuous communion”. Pastor and an Elder will be in the front at the end of the pews.
They will be wearing a mask and gloves as they handle the elements. No common cup is used for now.
You may come forward as the usher indicates. You may come as an individual, a couple, or as a family – you need to social distance (2 meters apart from those NOT from same household) as you come forward. Please allow time for each to receive Communion before you step forward. Receive the wafer first; then step to the pastor for the wine.
Then make your way back to your seat, keeping that same social distance (2 meters/6ft.) space between you and those not from your household. The idea here is that there is a continuous “flow” of those communing.
