Guidelines:
Beginning this Sunday, we will be offering three adult-only Sunday morning services at 8:00 am, 10:15 am, and 12:30 pm.  Junior High and up will be allowed to sit with their family in the Sanctuary. Please note that we will not be offering Children’s Ministry at this time.  We will be adding it shortly.  To provide that we stay within social distancing limitations, we are asking our church family to reserve your seat for the service of your choosing.

Before you save your seat…

Be sure to ask the following questions on behalf of your entire group before saving your seat for a Worship Service:

• Am I showing any flu-like symptoms?
• Have I had a fever or 100.4 or higher in the past 14 days?
• Have I had prolonged exposure to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19?
• Is there any medical reason why I shouldn’t be around others?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, we strongly encourage you to attend our services online this weekend. Both our 8 am and 10:15 am services will be live-streamed at those times.

One last consideration…

Elderly individuals with what the medical profession calls co-morbidities (Obesity, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Heart Disease, immunosuppressant condition, etc.) are the most vulnerable to suffer from a COVID-19 infection.  You may want to minimize your exposure to a congregational setting for a little while longer.  

Saving your seat:
If you’re ready to save your seat, see below.

Sanitation:
We have taken every precaution to establish a sanitized environment throughout our church facility.  Hand sanitizing stations are available in the front lobby.  Our team will clean and disinfect frequently contacted surfaces in the church facility between services.

Face Masks:
Although the Governor of PA has mandated the wearing of face masks, churches are excluded from this order at this time. Wearing of masks will be according to individual conviction.  Conflicting information throughout the medical community is making it impossible to come up with a definitive position whether they are helpful.  However, we should respect each person’s conviction and not be unloving toward those who either wear them or refrain from wearing them. While wearing a mask is optional within the sanctuary during the services, wearing a mask is mandatory in the fellowship hall during the 10:15 am service.

Restrooms:
To maximize social distancing, we ask that you utilize your restrooms at home before coming to church.  However, these rooms will be open on both sides of the Sanctuary if needed.

Seating:
In order to maintain the social distancing requirement, alternating rows will be marked off for each service.  Family members are allowed to sit together but we ask that you sit three or four seats away from the next person or family group.

Offering:
To minimize contact between individuals, we will pray for the offering during the service, but not physically receive it.  You are welcome to contribute using our website, smartphone App, or utilize the four Agape boxes along the back hallway.  A newer way to contribute is to text an amount to 215-995-1163.  You will receive a text back to sign in or create a new account.
