SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

*Please Read Carefully*

Over the past several weeks we have been under a “stay at home order,” as medical experts and government officials try to get a handle on the Covid 19 virus. Up to this point we have followed their direction and kept our doors closed, having service and small groups using video resources.

Looking at the current condition of our local community, as well as our right to gather for worship under Articles 2&3 of the Indiana State Constitution, we have prayerfully decided to open up the doors of the church again for worship.

On May 3 @ 10 am, we will once again begin meeting in a limited capacity for Sunday morning worship.

With that being said, there are precautions that need to be taken. As a church:

The building will not be opened until 9:30 a.m.

Only the front doors (East and West will be accessible)

A greeter will be stationed at the door wearing PPE, so multiple people are not touching the door handles.

There will be NO breakfast until further notice (fellowship area will be completely closed off).

There is NO Children’s Ministry or nursery available at this time. Children will have to sit in the service. Janet will be in touch with the families on how we move forward.

We will provide a “Sanitizing Station” with hand sanitizer, gloves, and masks in the foyer for your protection.

All doors handles and surfaces will be re-cleaned at the start of service.

No bulletins will be available until further notice (pertinent information will be communicated through an announcement time, social media, phone tree, and email).

We will not have any greeting time, communion, or fellowship gatherings until further notice.

From your end, we want you to take the proper pre-cautions when it comes to your personal health.

We trust that you will “self-police” your health status, and make the proper decisions (for you and your family) on whether you should gather in public settings or not.

*If you are sick, have a fever, or feel ill, we want you to stay home.

*If you have conditions that make you susceptible to Covid 19, we want you to stay home.

*If you feel uncomfortable being in a public setting due to the pandemic, we want you to stay home.

Your health is your responsibility. We trust that you can make decisions for yourself concerning it.

Some of the things that you can do to help:

-Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
-Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue.
-Wash your hands often with soap and water.
-Wear gloves and a mask in public settings.
-Check your temperature before you leave home.

Our services will continue to be posted on our website, Facebook, and YouTube for those who cannot, or decide not to attend.

I thank you for your patience during this time, and look forward to worshipping with you again.

If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to any of our leaders. God bless!
