Outdoor Gathering - Sunday, October 4, 10:00-11:00 AM
We do not feel that it is wise to re-open the building for in-person inside worship yet. However, we know that it is difficult to not see each other and share fellowship. We will be offering our outdoor space for a gathering on October 4 from 10:00AM – 11:00AM. Darrell Adams and Fred Bogert will be providing musical entertainment for your listening enjoyment during part of our time together and we will be sharing communion together in celebration of World Communion Sunday. (Communion elements will be available in prepackaged containers.)
We know not everyone will want to attend, and we will respect whatever decision is best for you and your family. We will offer an online service as we have been doing during the pandemic, so if you are unable to join us in person, you can still connect with us through the online service. In order to host this event safely there are several guidelines we will put in place.
1. We will have chairs set up six (6) feet apart, and some small groups of chairs to accommodate households. We ask that you stay six (6) feet apart from all other households.
2. Masks will need to be wore at all times while on church grounds by those two (2) years and over. Please bring your own mask. If you forget, we will have some you can have.
3. We need everyone to register for this event. It will be most helpful to preregister by calling the church office by Friday, October 2 at 12:00 PM. Or go to the church website and register online. You can click on this link for the online form https://form.jotform.com/202585631273152. We are asking for everyone to pre-register or register on the day so that, if necessary, in the event of someone testing positive within two weeks of the gathering, we can make sure you are contacted.
4. Please do not bring any food or drink to the gathering. Eating and drinking requires you to take off your mask, and we want you to keep your mask on at all times.
5. The building will be closed.
6. When you arrive, you can park in the courtyard parking lot, along Birchwood and Frankfort Aves and in the library lot. There will be three check in tables. If you have pre-registered, we will simply check you off the list and make sure you have a mask. If you haven’t pre-registered, there will be a short form to fill out (name and contact information).
