                                                                                          Safeguard Procedures
**This is a working document and items/procedures may change based on new information that becomes available.  The church will update as new procedures are put in place. 

• Masks – We are asking that congregational members follow the CDC guidelines for wearing a mask.  If you wish to wear a mask, please feel comfortable to do so.  The church will have masks available for those who need one.
• Seating – We encourage families to sit together, and at this time all pews are available for seating.
• Sharing of the Peace – We will continue to refrain from shaking hands at this time and continue to share the peace through smiles and waves.
• Children’s Sermon/Nursey – We will continue to have children’s sermon, and will open up the nursery in July.
• Bulletins/Hymnals/Ushers – We will begin having ushers greet everyone as they walk in to the church and hand out bulletins.  Ushers will be able to assist those families or individuals to open pews and gather prayer requests.  If you are interested in being an usher, please sign up in the back of the church.  Hymnals are back in the pews for use.
• Prayer Requests – We will soon begin to take prayer requests again before the service.  Prayer requests are available in the pews.  Ushers will gather prayer requests before the start of the worship service and give them to the pastor or assisting minister.
• Offering Plate – The collection plate will remain in the middle aisle for member to drop off their offering.
• Communion – Pastor Rachel and assistants will administer communion to members.  The bread will be broken for members to take individually and the wine will be pre-poured into communion cups for members to take individually as well.  If you wish to have Pastor Rachel administer communion to you at your seat, please let the usher know during communion.

 
As per the CDC guidelines, if you are feeling ill, please stay home.  The church will continue to have worship via Facebook Live.
