An Island Chapel team of leaders will be helping us to coordinate the flow of people and seating. We will review each week and make adjustments as necessary. Thank you in advance for your prayers and your patience.
Worship Service May 17
TIMES
: 8:00 and 10:00 AM
DELIVERY METHOD
: Both in person and also on FB Live for the 10:00 service
SIZE
: Initial target about 50% of capacity — limit to about 65 upstairs for worship
SEATING
: Family units will sit together side by side and then space between families
SPACING
: Between different households, we will ask for two seats to be left vacant.
ROW
: We will remove several rows and create additional spacing between the rows.
OVERFLOW
: Downstairs will be set up for overflow viewing on Facebook Live if necessary
MASKS
: Optional - We will welcome those who choose to wear and those who do not wear masks.
CHILDREN & NURSERY
Children
: Our children’s ministry leaders will be in contact with the parents to explore options and make plans. At this point children Sunday School will not resume in person, but look for the lessons Josh is sending to the parents and children.
Nursery
: Island Chapel leaders are checking availability
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS & PRECAUTIONS
- Hand sanitizer available
- Suspension of food after the worship services
- Limit the greeting time to big smiles and waves
- Provide offering plates at the back of the church instead of passing the offering plates
- Limited number of masks available for those request one
SURVEY REPLY REQUESTED
: (to help with planning)
- We have a 2-3 minute survey worship on whether you plan to attend worship on May 17 or wait a few more weeks.
- We will ask which service time for those who plan to attend
SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDIES
:
- Sunday 9:00 AM Bible Study with Josh — (CHANGE) this will be offered on Zoom as it has been for a few weeks, but stay tuned for us adding an in-person option
- Thursday Riley’s Group - The Rileys will communicate the details each week. They are willing to move the group back to the church building to provide more spacing for a couple of weeks. Then, the group will adjust as necessary.
No staff person or volunteer is being required to attend in person the first few weeks as we restart in-person worship service options.
Future:
We will proceed with this schedule on a week-by-week basis. We make adjustments as necessary or should things change in our circumstances. Should we need to add a third worship service, we will give that serious consideration.
