A Message from Rev. Harper
Taking in consideration the long absence from worshipping in the sanctuary, I am optimistically cautious about reopening at 25% capacity. I am encouraging those who want to stay home, are at risk, sick or feel sick to please stay home. I invite you to join us on Facebook or via conference call. Those who care to worship in the sanctuary, be advised that all guidelines will be strictly enforced and they will be posted at the church or see the Phase One guidelines for Churches listed on WSLS channel 10 website. Those who worship in the sanctuary must wear a mask. The ushers will direct you to designating seating as we adhere to social distancing. We are encouraging/suggesting that children not attend. The fellowship hall will not be used, and only the front doors to the sanctuary will be open for Sunday worship. Your safety is our utmost concern. This virus is a serious threat. Please be safe. Remember, God loves you and so do I.
Love,
Rev. Thomas Harper.
Social Distancing & Face Coverings
- Stay home unless you need food, medicine, or medical care.
- Avoid large crowds and small gatherings.
- If you must go out, stay at least 6 feet away from other people.
Wear a cloth face covering so you don't spread germs when you talk, sneeze, or cough. Cloth face coverings should not be used on children under 2.
Remember to follow directions from your local health officials.
For Your Safety & Ours
