The process of allowing more attendees for worship will begin this Sunday. While I have looked forward to the day when more may come it will come with some guidelines that we must accept. I ask for your cooperation with the Governor’s guidelines for church attendance along with the urging of our insurance provider.
The guidelines for those who attend will be: 1. Please consider not attending if you have had a fever in the last week. 2. If you have any pre-existing health issues such as high blood pressure, lung problems, diabetic problems, asthma you may want to consider waiting for a few more weeks before you attend. 3. Everyone that attends MUST WEAR a face mask. 4. Everyone will enter, and exit, through the main entrance at the front of the building. 5. We will continue to practice social distancing accept for families that arrive together.
6. Those who attend must remain six feet apart in their seating accept for families. 7. We ask you not to shake hands. 8. There will be no class meetings, nurseries, or children activities. It is suggested that those who are over 65 years of age wait about when they will return.
Our ‘Time of Worship’ will begin at 11:00am and the doors will be open at 10:30am. I do not know, at this time, how long this schedule will continue but it is a starting point. Our service will continue to be live streamed for those who decide to wait about their return. I fully understand that for some they will wait to observe how the relaxing of restrictions will work. I also understand that our return to a regular schedule will be weeks away.
Each one of you could help us by sharing this news with those who do not have internet service. I hope you are looking forward to the return of our regular schedule, even though it may be weeks away, and let’s all pray for wisdom, and patience, as the process begins.
Psa. 86:5-7, “For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.”
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU! – BRO. ED
