Reconvening Worship Services on May 10, 2020

Hello SSBC family!

As you may have heard Governor Holcomb has released recommendations for transitioning back into our normal lives. We are happy to announce that we will be reconvening in-person services starting this upcoming Sunday May 10. We are sure that you will have questions about what this will look like and what you can expect. We want to give you some of the information that will help you and all of us stay safe and healthy as we begin to gather together again to worship the Lord in unity.

What you can expect at church this Sunday:

• Doors propped open
• Plenty of Hand Sanitizer
• No physical bulletins or handouts
• No Sunday School classes
• No Children’s Church or child care
• Sanitized door handles, knobs, handrails, etc.
• Many seats removed to help with social distancing
• No coffee :(
• Offering boxes near the entrances and exits
• An open “Cry Room” for parents and children with a Live Stream of the service in the back of the sanctuary

What you can do to help:

• If you are at higher risk due to health conditions or age, please stay home for your safety
• If you are feeling sick or showing any symptoms of fever or cough or shortness of breath, please stay home for the safety of others
• Please maintain 6 feet between you and others not in your family group
• Please put on a face mask before entering the building (please bring your own if you can)
• Please sit with your family group and not with those from other households
• Please bring silent toys or activities for your young kids to play with during service as there will be no child care
• Please avoid physical greetings like hand shakes and hugs
• Please use your elbow to cover coughs and sneezes
• Please allow for social distancing when entering and leaving services

We are very glad to be gathering again as the assembled church of Christ Jesus. If you have any questions about these guidelines or have any concerns or reservations or comments please don’t hesitate to let us know. If you do not feel comfortable coming together physically at this time please feel no burden or compulsion to do so. No one here will judge you for whatever decision you feel you must make for you and your family during this confusing and difficult time. Our goal is to glorify God and enjoy Him through worshiping together and taking care of each other as much as we can.
