Dear Calvary members,
Calvary council has made the decision to open the church for worship on June 7th, with the following changes to our normal service.
We ask that you only attend service if you feel healthy and/or comfortable doing so. Please practice social distancing entering the church. Wearing a mask is encouraged.
There will be designated seating with every other pew roped off. Please sit 6 ft apart, although families may sit together. Sitting in the basement for worship is an option.
There will be no ushers or acolytes. Bulletins will be available for each person to pick up at the church entry.
The offering plate will also be placed at the church entry for each person to place their offering.
Hand sanitizers and a few masks will be available.
There will be no communion for the month of June.
There will be no passing of the peace.
Please be patient when dismissing at the end of service, continue social distancing, and avoid congregating near the exit.
While we are excited to return to worship, we want to remind everyone that staying safe and healthy is of great concern. We do not want anyone to feel that they must attend worship.
Sister Anne will continue providing her service both in print and on Facebook.
We have asked Sister Anne to consider her own health and level of comfort in leading worship on Sundays, and that if she is in any way uncomfortable doing so, we will have a lay-led service using her written lesson.
Council voted to open the church up to the quilters, and ask that they too consider their health before resuming their mission work.
A decision on a date for confirmation will be postponed. Council would like to have this when confirmands’ friends and family can all gather to celebrate.
Council will continue to follow Synod guidelines and suggestions as we go forward. We ask that our community, congregation, council, and Sister Anne be in your prayers.
In peace,
Kent Adelson, Calvary Council
