St. John's is entering a new phase for Worship Services
​on Sundays.
 
​

As much as we would love to fill all of the pews in our beautiful sanctuary every Sunday morning to praise His glorious works we know the safety of all who worship is the priority.
​
Safe Worship Behavior Guidelines 3.0
(effective 11/29/2020 until further notice);
Please strive to abide by the following
· WEAR A MASK: Masks are always required by everyone within the building except for children under the age of 5; there are adult and child-sized masks available for free within the main entrance, so please take and wear one when you are within the building.
· WATCH YOUR DISTANCE: Maintaining a distance of about 6 feet from others except those within your own household is also always required, exceptions have been made in our sanctuary seating so that households may group together, but these “pods” should not exceed 4 or 5 people. Please do not gather anywhere inside the building to socialize before or after worship without adequate distancing.
· WASH YOUR HANDS: Hand sanitizer is available at the entrance and exit of the sanctuary to encourage you both in and out of worship to make a more rigorous practice of cleaning and disinfecting your hands for the safety of all.
 
Safe Worship Design 3.0
(effective 11/29/2020 until further notice);
These are the ways we’ve changed how we run in-person worship at St. John’s to keep everyone safe;
· Worship attendance has been limited to 30 attendees
· Worship attendance now requires reserving a seat by noon on the Thursday before; this will make contact tracing effective should such a thing become necessary because of infection.
· Rigorous social distancing behavior will be practiced (see above).
· Assembly singing is prohibited; it’s just not safe to sing together in the pews yet.
· Only the musician, videographer, & assigned singers will be welcome in the balcony going forward; we will either be having one of them ring the bell or no bell shall be wrung for the time being.

 
Thank you for your patience & understanding and thank you for keeping St. John’s a safe & healthy place for our church family to worship.
