NEW OUTDOOR WORSHIP OPPORTUNITY ON SUNDAY NIGHTS!!!
Christ community,
It’s with great excitement that I share with you that Christ Costa Mesa will be offering an in-person, outdoor worship service on Sunday nights! For those of you who participated in the past two surveys, thank you, as they provided very helpful information.
You may recall that Christ has proceeded through this time of pandemic with a strong objective to provide multiple worship options so that people can make the best decisions for themselves and their families. Outdoor worship is simply another option for you to choose from, while we respect the decision that you will make for you and/or your family. Current options include:
- online live stream
- online on-demand videos
- call in via telephone
-
in-person in sanctuary (temporarily unavailable, as we are still waiting on new information from the state)
- and now outdoor worship
“I want to participate! Do I need to RSVP?”
Yes please! A link is provided on our website, and is also sent in our Thursday “Unified At Christ” email. This helps us be prepared. If you forget, walk-ups are still okay.
“I’m intrigued. WHEN is outdoor worship?”
Outdoor worship is on Sunday nights, beginning at 6pm. Showing up a few minutes early will be helpful, to make sure we get everyone in their seats. Christ is committing to outdoor worship for 4 Sundays, August 9, 16, 23, 30. After those four weeks, we’ll reevaluate to determine if these services are best to continue.
“After I arrive on campus, WHERE should I go?”
Outdoor worship happens on the Plaza, right in front of the entry to the sanctuary. All you need to do is park in the lot, look for the Christ Costa Mesa canopy, and enter through the check-in station. From there, we’ll direct you to your socially distanced seat(s).
“Sounds awesome, tell me more about WHAT I should expect at outdoor worship.”
You got it! This worship service is very similar to our current 10:30am live-band worship service. Expect all the parts of worship, including: music, prayers, children’s message, sermon, and people to worship in-person with! A spot for dropping off offering is available. Communion will be received on the 2nd & 4th Sundays, via individualized communion kits provided.
“Tell me about the SAFETY procedures that are in place.”
Your safety and security is paramount to us. Your RSVP helps us be prepared for you.
- Expect socially distanced seating. We’ve even disinfected your chair.
- Disinfected restrooms will be available
- Hand sanitizing stations available.
- Please wear a mask, unless your health prohibits you. We are fully aware of opinions people have about masks, yet we ask you to wear a mask for one reason: abundance of care for others. Defaulting to abundance of care for others is a route we are willing to promote.
