• We strongly encourage you to wear a mask. We are asking our elders, deacons, pastors, staff and their families to wear masks and we are asking you to do the same. We will have a supply of masks available if you leave yours at home or do not have one.
• The non-mask sections are located at the far back right section on the ground level, the far back left section on the ground level, and the upper left section in the balcony where the frangrance free section is located.

• For best practices, the communion elements are pre-packaged for church member participation. We will not pass the elements to one another as we have in the past. Instead, there will be several stations in the worship center where you can go and receive the communion elements.
• Each officer assisting in communion will be wearing gloves and a mask.To receive the elements during communion, please wear a mask. As an added expression of loving our neighbors well, if you are in line to receive communion without a mask, you will be asked to wear one.
