Coronavirus Precautions and Suggestions
With reports about the spread of the coronavirus (or
COVID-19), we want you to know your health and well-being is of utmost concern. We are doing all we can to stay current with
public health guidelines, to follow best practices for hygiene, and exercising an
abundance of caution in responding to this situation. Here is information that may be helpful to
you:
* Worshipers are always encouraged to participate, or not,
according to their comfort level.
* If you wish, Instead of shaking hands or embracing, consider
verbal greeting, a nod, or smile.
* At Vespers communion, the minsters use hand purifier just beforehand. If you prefer to receive a blessing rather
than partake of the elements, simply cross your arms over your chest.
* Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or handkerchief
when coughing or sneezing.
* Wash your hands frequently with warm water, for 20 seconds
(about as long as it takes to sing one verse of “Happy Birthday to You”). The friction
is as important as the soap and water, to prevent the spread of germs. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers if soap and
warm water are not available
* Reduce unnecessary touch, especially to your face, and
contact, to avoid placing yourself or others at greater risk.
* Please, stay home when you are sick.
* Remember when you are not in worship on Sunday mornings,
you can worship with the church via the live at 11 a.m worship webcast found
at Live Worship Webcast
* If you stay home from worship or other events due to
illness, please find ways to be in touch through social media, emails and phone
calls.
