9:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 25th, the Fourth Sunday of Easter (weather permitting) worship will be held outside! Please review the Rules for Outdoor Worship that are listed below.
Rules for Outdoor Worship
As we gather for outdoor in-person worship, there are a number of guidelines that we must adhere to in order to gather safely. The guidance we have received from the ELCA, our Northern Great Lakes Synod, and the Wisconsin Council of Churches have aided in these rules and are meant to keep us ALL as safe as possible as we seek to worship physically together. Above all, love and care for our fellow children of God is what must guide us. Therefore, here are the rules that will guide our outdoor worship:
• If you do not feel comfortable joining in-person outdoor worship, that is perfectly acceptable. These services will be live streamed via Facebook Live.
• If you wish to wear a mask outside, you are welcome to do so. However, masks outside are not required if social distancing is maintained.
• If you feel sick in ANY way, please stay home.
• A minimum of 6 feet will be kept between different family units/those living in the same household. (Attempt to not be “down-wind” of anyone.)
• If you are able, please bring your own chair to sit on. However, chairs will be provided for those that need them. Worshipping in your car is also an option.
• There will be NO – shaking hands, passing the Peace, passing of the offering plate, or fellowship time with food or coffee.
• No Holy Communion will take place. This will be offered on Sundays (we are not worshipping outside), May 2 and May 16th in our Social Hall.
• It would be best if restrooms were not used. Access to the inside of the church building will be limited to the restrooms only.
• Bulletins will be provided. Please recycle them at home.
• Be aware of others around you. Give people plenty of room to exit at the end of the service. Please don’t congregate around vehicles.
• Be kind, be gracious, and be patient. Obviously, this will not be worship as we knew it before.
This is the sign that the podium and piano will be placed under for our Outdoor Worship Opportunities.
Weather permitting: April 25th, May 9th and May 23rd at 9:30 a.m. (Central Daylight Time).
BRING A CHAIR AND JOIN US!
