ANNOUNCEMENTS

PHASE 2 OF THE RE-OPENING OF OUR CHURCH!! Starting next week, all of our evening services will resume inside. We will still have our Drive-In service through July 12th, at 9:00 AM. On July 19th, the 9:00 AM Traditional Service will be moved inside as well. The 11:00 AM Blended Service will remain inside. Sunday School and Wednesday night suppers will resume in the near future.

1. If you attend any of the inside services you have to either wear a mask or sit six feet apart unless you are family.

2. Nursery will ONLY be provided for the 11:00 AM worship service so we encourage families with babies to attend that service.

3. There will be NO children's church at 11:00 AM. 4. There will be no classes for youth or children on Wednesday night,

youth and children will sit with their families in the sanctuary. 5. On-line services will still be available for all services except the early

service for those who aren't ready to enter the building. 6. The Sanctuary Choir will not resume until the mask restriction is lifted.

The praise team will still lead us in all services. 7. We will be following all of the health guidelines for all of these services. 8. We will ONLY be using the front doors and the side door on the prayer

garden side for our handicapped. An usher will be there to open and close the door for you. All other doors will be locked. 9. Please use ONLY the restrooms behind the sanctuary because the educational portion of our building will be closed. 10. Please use the sanitizer dispensers that are conveniently located on the walls in the vestibule and the hallway. 11. Please try to abide by social distance rules as you are being seated. 12. All of the hymn books, papers and pens are removed from the pews. 13. We ask that people drop their offerings in the offering plates by the front door and on the Evergreen Street side as they are entering or leaving the sanctuary to avoid passing the plates. 14. During the welcome time we ask that people refrain from personal contact. 15. We ask all those who are sick or have a compromised immune system to please remain at home for the time being for your own safety. 16. We will not be seating anyone before 10:30 AM to give us time to fully sanitize the sanctuary for the 11:00 AM service. 17. Please do not congregate in sanctuary or hallways before or after services. 18. We NEED families to sit together to maximize our space. For example, we don't want parents' downstairs while their teenage kids are in the balcony.

New Sermon Series: Sunday Evenings Starting next Sunday, July 12, the Pastor will begin a new study on Sunday nights through the book of 1 John. Join us each Sunday night as we journey through this book together and learn about practical Christianity.

Nominating Committee Survey The nominating committee has provided surveys to find out where you would like to be considered to serve in the new church year. You may receive a form during Drive-in Church or pick one up in the sanctuary. Also, if you would like to serve in any area not on the survey please feel free to add to your sheet. Please check all areas of interest and turn into the office or place in offering plate no later than Sunday, July 19th.
