After prayerfully considering the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and the activities of other churches in our area, we are re-opening the church in a limited way starting Monday, June 1st. Our priorities are to do this safely, wisely, and above all, in a way that honors God and His Creation. We have met with our Worship Committee; considered the new State Guidellines; and looked at COVID-19 trends in Bee County and Texas in general. With this in mind, here is our current plan for re-opening, but as always, this is subject to change as the situation changes. All functions will require safe distancing, and we encourage the use of masks at all times.

Please do not plan any activities at the church without discussing first with Pastor Dean. We want to be sure that such activities can be carried out safely and that we are prepared for them.

To resume Sanctuary worship, we ask that you please observe the following safety guidelines:

• If you are a vulnerable person, please consider worshiping from home via Facebook Live or KIKR 106 FM.

• If you are ill, please stay home.

• Please maintain a distance of 6' all the way around you and respect the safety of others when you choose a place to sit.

• Try to wear a mask, especially when singing.

• Please avoid touching each other or touching surfaces used by another. Sorry, no handshakes and hugs just yet.

• If there is Lysol spray in the restroom, please use it to spray toilet seats and sink area when finished.

• Offering plates will not be circulated; please either drop your gifts off in the boxes in the Narthex or use our online giving to make your gifts.

• Please pick up your communion elements as you enter the Sanctuary.

• We will not have hymnals, pew supplies, or other items that might be used by others.
