PHASE III
On Sunday, September 20th, we will return to morning worship in the sanctuary following the guidelines necessary for the safety of all. The morning worship will be live streamed, taking the place of our current YouTube worship playlist. We will continue the evening service through the end of September. In addition, our small groups (DFG, Prayer Meeting, Committee Meetings, Bible Studies, Youth & Children's ministries) will have the opportunity to meet live at church and those meetings will be shared on Zoom for those who need to stay home. Please note that some of these groups will follow additional phasing yet to be announced. Those who are in the vulnerable population are encouraged to be cautious in their live participation.
As we move from Phase II to Phase III we will continue to comply with the established guidelines given to us by our health officials. At this point we will require the wearing of masks while entering, leaving and moving about the building. They may be removed once seated.

We will need to have a weekly registration for attendance as we must maintain social distancing in the sanctuary. You will need to register with me no later than Friday noon each week by either calling the church 529-7729 or emailing me directly at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The registration will be on a first come first serve basis as we are limited to 50% of our capacity which is 90 out of 180. You will be assigned a seat for each service based upon the need for keeping six foot social distancing and the number who have registered. If and when we reach capacity those in excess will be given preference the following week. We will offer another service if necessary.
Those who will be assisting with the seating for the service will be masked.
Nursery and Children's Church may be provided if the staffing is available. Social distancing skills will be practiced. The staff will be masked for the entire program until those restrictions are lifted.
If the restrooms need to be used it will be your responsibility to wipe down all surfaces before leaving the restroom. Children must be accompanied by an adult family member.
