In order to promote safety and health in our church and assist in alleviating undue anxiety among our congregation, it seems prudent to implement the following best practices starting this Sunday.
· We strongly encourage you to stay home if you are sick.
· We will celebrate Holy Communion using the prepackaged communion elements.
· Eliminate the optional exchange of peace by shaking hands and hugging.
· Eliminate holding hands during communal prayer
· People with compromised immune systems are encouraged to stay home.
· Wash your hands frequently, and cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
· All in attendants, congregants, and ministers alike should practice good hygiene. There is no greater prevention of infection than thorough hand washing.
· Please check the CDC website for additional information.
