MCBC will reopen for corporate worship services on Sunday, January 17, 2021. Note that this is a temporary arrangement due to the ongoing threat of Covid-19 and will be revised by our leadership as positive numbers are reduced. Please read the following guidelines to ensure the safety of those who choose to attend. We’re all in this together and cooperation is of the utmost importance.
1. There will be two identical Sunday morning services at 9:30 am and 11:00 am. Only two entrances will be available (front doors and the doors at the drive through).
2. Worship will be limited to two songs or instrumentals. The congregation will not be asked to sing.
3. There will be no Sunday School, no Children’s Church, and no nursery until further notice.
4. Men will be asked to stand at their seats during the Church Prayer Time. No coming forward.
5. All congregants will be requested to wear a mask or facial covering. MCBC will provide masks for those who don’t have one. The deacons strongly encourage everyone to consider wearing one.
6. Greeters will be at the doors requesting the use of a mask or facial covering and will also encourage the use of hand sanitizer before entering the worship center.
7. Seating configurations for social distancing will be established. Families from the same household will be encouraged to sit together but maintain the recommended distance of six feet between other families.
8. Greeters will direct congregants to a seat and determine social distancing between seats. Seating less than six feet between congregants will be marked as “Do Not Sit Here.”
9. Each worship service will be limited to 100 congregants. The Chapel will be designated for overflow when the Sanctuary reaches seating capacity.
10. There will be no church bulletins.
11. The offering plates will not be passed. Collection of tithes and offerings will be placed in the plates at the front entrance of sanctuary. Online giving is encouraged.
12. We will continue to post all worship services and weekly devotions (Carry Your Cross) on YouTube, Facebook, video streaming, etc. for those not in attendance.
13. Sunday School classes are encouraged to use Zoom or other media to hold class meetings.
14. At this time no other services are planned (Sunday evening or Wednesday Night).
15. If requested, worship services can be broadcast over the radio. Due to broadcast limits, you must be on the MCBC grounds to listen.
16. Signs will be posted on every entrance of no liability for injury or death of an individual entering these premises from Covid-19.
17. Signs will also be posted on every entrance encouraging the wearing of a mask or facial covering and the use of hand sanitizer before entering the building.
Our leadership and staff continue to pray for you and your family. We all have the same responsibilities as we come back to worship together. If you have any further questions, please contact your deacon representative.
