Restart Worship Services for Grace/CRC—Corsica, SD May 2020

There are various thoughts about COVID-19 and we want you to follow your heart and make conscientious decisions you are comfortable with. If you don’t feel well, have a compromised immune system, respiratory symptoms, fever, or chronic health condition, please stay home and continue enjoying the services online. Even if you are healthy and have any doubts at all about attending, we encourage you to remain home. Your peace of mind and health is still our main priority.

Grace/CRC Consistories decided to restart public worship services in the morning only, beginning May 31 at CRC and rotate between sites each week from there out until further notice. So Grace would be odd week Sundays (Weeks 1 & 3) and CRC would be even week Sundays (Weeks 2 & 4). We will use alternating church benches to sit in to keep distance between groups as necessary.

Entrance to Worship (Please maintain appropriate social distance of 6 ft.)

• There will be ushers to assist you as you enter the sanctuary.
• Everyone is encouraged to use personal hand sanitizer or wipes.
• Each household or family group will sit in a bench. We will usher you to a bench with another group if we can maintain the 6 ft. distance between people groups.
• The balcony/fellowship areas will be available and if we need to set up additional seating, we will.

 

People Assisting in Worship

• People will carry our regular scheduled worship functions only if they feel comfortable doing so.
• We will not start up the following functions at this time yet:
          No nursery
          No children’s church
          No Sunday school
          No coffee & cookies

 

Music and Recording

• The praise team members will be spaced apart from each other appropriately.
• The sound operator would place mics on the stands using a wipe—we will also move them
  back a distance from facing others.
• We will continue to provide a taped/recorded version in some manner.

 

During the Worship Service

• There will be no time of mutual greeting during the worship service.

 

Offerings

• Offerings will not be taken during the service, instead an offering plate for each church will be placed in the entry of the facility we are using each Sunday. You can also give offerings as we have been giving during the closure.

 

After the Worship Service

• People will be dismissed by the usher one row at a time.
• Everyone will be asked to go directly outside.

 

Please contact a consistory member with any questions/comments. Thank you for your cooperation.
