Church Reopen Plan
by Pastor Mike on May 28, 2020Dear Church,
I sure have missed seeing all of you. I am looking forward to the day when we all can be back together again.
The number of people who have been tuning into the broadcast has been tremendous. It is a testimony to your desire to worship. None of this would have been possible without people like James, Lindsay, Altared Praise, Bubba, Debbie, Mary Crook and Mary Brown. When you see them, thank them for doing their part.
I met with the Deacons and Church Council and we have agreed on a three month plan for reopening the church. Strict guidelines will be in place. We are asking each person to abide by them. The safety of the people must come first.
Following is the guidelines for June, July and August:
· Phase 1- Return June 7, Morning Worship ONLY, Mask (optional), Sanitizer stations available, No Handshaking, No Nursery or King’s Kids Ministries, No SS or Wed Activities, Drop-off tithes & offering, Mail In or Online Giving, Spaced Sanctuary Seating (Families can sit together) All others must be placed at least 6ft apart, Sick must stay home, Intense cleaning of high traffic areas, Continue online connections, Continue Live Stream.
· Phase 2– Transition July 5, Resume Nursery & Wed Bible Study, Increased Sanctuary seating.
· Phase 3– New Normal August 2, Fist bumps, handshakes, hugs (optional), Resume King’s Kids Ministries, Resume SS & Wed activities, Communion, Normal Sanctuary seating, Large gatherings & Events resume.
Serving the Savior,
Pastor Mike
