GUIDELINES FOR OUR CONTINUED RE-OPENING
  • Initially, only a Sunday morning service starting at 10:45 am (no Sunday evening); Wednesday evening will continue as we have been doing with the conference call;
  • No Sunday School classes on site;
  • Family-based worship service; children and teens sit with their parents or guardians;
  • No nursery or kids classes during worship service so that our kids workers can have time for church re-entry as they are able;
  • No transportation ministry;
  • Plenty of sanitizer available at the gathering areas;
  • Meeting areas sprayed down ahead of time;
  • Encourage families/individuals to leave a pew between them and others during the service;
  • Forego the handshaking time;
  • Plates for the offering at the doors on tables; offerings can be dropped in as we leave;
  • Encourage social distancing throughout the facility;
  • Only utilize the welcome center, auditorium, foyer, and bathrooms in order that everything can be sanitized afterwards;
  • Exiting the auditorium in such a way as to maintain social distancing and to prevent a bottleneck at the doors.

As we present these guidelines for returning to church, please note . . . we don't want any of our First Family loved ones to feel pressure about returning before you are ready. While we feel that the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of people require that all Bible teaching churches make plans to re-engage, we also know that there are a number of reasons why many people must be cautious in the return to social involvement. This is especially true of those in the "high risk" group as it relates to coronavirus. We are designing Sunday morning, May 17th, and subsequent weeks in such a way that we can worship with whatever size of attendance we have.

It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before. “Going to GriefShare feels like having warm arms wrapped around you when you’re shivering.” GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.
