As the weather gets colder, the Health Team and I have been working on a safe plan for the use of our sanctuary for Sunday morning services.  Our goal will be to have everything in place and to begin indoor service on Sunday, November 1.  The indoor protocol will include:
  • The wearing of masks at all times.
  • Families spaced out at least 6 feet from one another.
  • A limit of 40 people at a time in the service.
  • Sanitizing of bathrooms, doorknobs, pew ends, and other services before and after each service.
  • Ventilation and filtering of air.
  • The taking of temperatures with an infrared thermometer as people enter.
  • Assigned seats to more easily trace in the case that someone was found to have had the virus and who had recently attended one of our services.
If you have further questions or need more details, contact Pastor Kipp.  Please have one member from each family fill out the survey below at your soonest convenience so we know how to plan.  Thanks.
    The numbers of Westsiders who are comfortable meeting indoor will indicate whether we have one or two services.  Also, we will need at least 2 volunteers each service to help prepare the space by wiping down surfaces with sanitation wipes, setting up and manning a table with hand sanitizer, disposable masks, and taking temperatures as people enter.  This would require coming 30 minutes before the service and wiping things down after the service.  It would be ideal if we would have enough volunteers to have a rotation in which each group would serve once a month.
