A Message From Pastor Ray:
Hi Grace UMC family & friends,
As we make plans for live worship on Sunday, June 7 @ 9:30 , we know that not all members may return right away. We will continue to record portions of Worship that will be posted Sunday afternoons. (Live-streaming is being discussed & researched.)
We do want to be as safe as possible, asking you to observe safe distancing, refraining from handshaking & hugging. Facial masks are optional. Hand sanitizer dispensers are located on many walls & info tables.
Four entrances will be available for Worship : the Kitchen Door, Office Doors, Sanctuary Doors , and Cedar Street Duo Glass Doors (dining hall). The Education & Chapel Doors will remain closed as entrances, since we will not be having Sunday School & wish to keep those area sanitized. However those doors can be utilized for emergency exits. All restrooms are available.
This is all still temporary & experimental.
Here are some other changes/alterations made for safety reasons:
we will temporarily desist from greeting; using printed bulletins; passing offering plates; passing the peace; holding pew hymnals & pew Bibles. (You are always encouraged to bring your own printed or digital Bible!).
Seating (the first week back) will be in every other pew row. Those physically able to climb stairs are encouraged to sit in the balcony, to free up main floor seating for others.
The Dismissal of Worship will be staggered, hoping to alleviate overcrowding in hallways. Please enjoy distance fellowship in the dining room or parking lot.
We're all looking forward to worshiping together! As children of God, let's exercise patience and "bear with one another in love."
Can't wait for June 7!
- Pastor Ray
