St. Paul's Response to Covid 19
Worship
Updated for July 2021!
- Personal health: Do you have a fever or other symptoms? Please stay home if you are unsure of your health.
- Hand sanitizer will be available. We will continue cleaning products the pews between the Saturday night and Sunday morning services.
- The offering box will be in the narthex.
- Bathrooms will be available.
- The celebration of Holy Communion will be on the 2nd and 4th weekends. We will use a walk through system on both pulpit and lectern sides. Distribution will be at the floor level in the front. The Elder/usher will invite family groups forward alternating sides and maintaining at least 6 feet between each family group. Members will come forward using the center aisle and return by the outside aisle.
Pastors will wear gloves and mask, to administer the wafer. An Elder, wearing a mask and gloves, will invite the people to “Take and drink…” the wine from the trays set on a table. NO common cup at this time. The individual cups will be spaced out so to avoid touching another cup. A blessing for children can be offered but will follow social distancing. The pastor will give a corporate dismissal after all have been communed.
The pastors will provide an extension of the communion service later in the day from 1-2 p.m. to those who wish to drive to the church on the scheduled Sunday. This is for those who watched the live-stream. Please call the office to arrange to be served Communion in the parking lot.
