“ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’ If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can

In order to protect the health and safety of the congregation please observe the following guidelines: The back door to the sanctuary (beside the choir loft) on the EAST side (by the piano) will be propped open. The door on the opposite side (by the baptismal font) will not be used. 1. Doorkeepers will be posted at each entrance. Please do not touch doorknobs. 2. Ushers will seat and dismiss all worshippers in order to maintain distance. All family units must sit together. 3. Collection plates will remain stationary at the exit doors. 4. Upon dismissal, worshippers seated on the east side will be ushered out the back door by the piano. Those seated on west side (Pressley Street) will be ushered out the Pressley Street Door. The side aisles will be used for exiting. 5. Chairs will be set up across the front at safe distances for the children’s message. Children must remain in their chairs throughout the message. Preacher Mark will try to keep it short. 6. We are not mandating mask-use, and leave that up to individual discretion, but do encourage those who will be coming to wear one if able/available. We will have a few disposable masks available for those who do not have one. 7. We will continue to post the bulletin on the website and email it to the congregation. We encourage you to use the electronic bulletin on your personal device; however, we will have paper copies available. 8. We reserve the right to ask anyone displaying symptoms akin to those of COVID-19 or the flu to leave the Sanctuary. 9. Automatic hand sanitizing dispensers have been installed on the walls by the appointed entrances (Double doors at Christian education building, vestibule, and Pressley Street sanctuary door) and by the bathroom doors. Please sanitize your hands when you enter the building, and on the way out of the bathroom. 10. We must observe a STRICT NO-TOUCH POLICY.
