COVID-19 PROTECTION PLAN AND WORSHIP TEAMS UPDATE – 3-25-21

Easter Sunday brings much joy! We are returning to the Sanctuary for the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. Hallelujah!

We are adhering to protocols advised by the Christian Church in Indiana (Disciples of Christ) in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations:

  • Continue to wear facemasks
  • Maintain social distancing, providing six feet of separation between worshippers not of the same household
  • Eliminate passing materials – communion trays, offering plates, bulletins
  • Limit congregational singing
  • Clean and sanitize frequently touched surfaces
  • Refrain from touching, hugging, and shaking hands
  • Suspend social and fellowship time and the sharing of food
  • Make a record of those who are present if needed for contact tracing

Worship chairs will have wide spaces between rows. We ask that you keep at least three chairs between you and another family, “social bubble”, or individual. Since this virus is airborne, the Choir and Praise Band will use special singing masks. The congregation is encouraged to hum along and use movement rather than sing for the time being.

Instead of going forward for communion, “2-in-1” packets containing wafer and juice will be used and will be located on tables before entering the sanctuary. Offering plates will be available on pedestals at the back of the sanctuary.

Please call the church office by Monday, March 29 if you plan to attend, as we can accommodate 50 people at this time. Office number: 765-282-5969.
