PLAN FOR RE-OPENING SIMONTON COMMUNITY CHURCH

After prayer and careful consideration your Senior Pastor and Board of Trustees have unanimously agreed on the following plan for resuming in-person Worship services. Other ministries will be handled on a case by case basis as we make progress.

Scripture: Romans 8:35-39

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Guiding Themes:

Worship, Love, Safety, Missions

 Plan:

*Re-open for in-person Worship services May 17 at 8:30am & 11:00am that are more family friendly while continuing the streaming / podcasts.

*We will encourage social distancing by using every other row.

*Hand sanitizer will be available.

*Nursery, Childcare, or Children’s Church will not be available.

*No offering plates will be passed but we encourage on-line giving, mail, drop off in the back of the Sanctuary or at the Church office.

*Enter and exit through the Sanctuary doors with no handouts offered.

*Wearing of face masks or gloves is not required, but certainly accepted.

*Those who are sick or are concerned they may get sick should continue to join us on-line from home.

*We will offer the Great Room as alternative seating for those who desire to watch the live on-line stream.

*Our Church Staff will clean the facilities between services.

*LIFE Studies will still be offered for adults on-line each Sunday.

*We will make adjustments as facts and guidelines allow.
