If you chose to be present for church, we ask that we cooperate together and observe the following mitigating practices

1. If you are sick, or have any of the symptoms of Covid-19 (you know what they are, a temperature etc.) please stay at home and watch the service. We will continue the videoing of the sermon. If you have been exposed to any sick person, please stay home, this includes keeping obviously sick children at home
2. If you are “at risk,” please consider staying home. At risk as defined by state guidelines: “At-risk population are those who are 65 or older, especially (some say and/or) those with chronic lung disease; moderate to severe asthma; chronic heart disease; severe obesity; diabetes; chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis; liver disease; or weakened immune system” (from State of Texas Checklist for Churches/Places of Worship, revised 5/25/20)
3. Nuclear Families living together please sit together (the church is a family, but this is the live together type family) Our children will come to the beginning of the service. We may release the children for a kids time.
4. Please allow the physical 6’ distance between families.
5. We ask that you wear a face mask. This includes children if they will. (Most recent studies indicate that children are least harmed by this pandemic and may not readily spread it to others as was feared at first, but like most things – no one really knows)
6. If you are singing wear a mask, and sing softly. We will reduce singing for a time. Current guidance is confusing on singing, like everything in this pandemic, but Christianity Today’s new guidance is don’t sing without a mask.
7. Please use the hand sanitizer upon entering the building. Bottles are placed at the door. Or sing your ABCs or Jesus Loves Me to yourself while washing your hands with soap and water, there are 4 available sinks with soap.
8. Disinfectant wipes are available to wipe the metal parts of the chairs, if you so desire or other surfaces.
9. We will refrain from hugging, shaking hands and so forth for a time. Please watch the 6′ physical distancing. If you would like to talk after the service, please consider moving outside where this virus we are afraid of is killed by the sun.
