Pastor's Procedures for Services
- Two in-person services are held on Sundays. The 8:30 a.m. service is traditional, and the 11:00 a.m. service is contemporary.
- To keep social distance, those attending at 8:30 are asked to sit in even-numbered pews, and those attending at 11:00 are asked to sit in odd-numbered pews.
- Those who are over the age of 65, have medical conditions that increase their risk of complications, are feeling ill, or have been recently exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 are asked to consider waiting to worship with us.
- A mask that covers your nose and mouth must be worn by everyone over four years old. There will be a limited number of masks available at the church. Attendees are asked to wash their hands in the bathroom or make use of the available hand sanitizer. In addition, please keep 6 feet away from people not in your family group.
- Congregation members will not sing during indoor services.
- Holy Communion will be celebrated on the first and third Sunday of the month. During the distribution, ushers will invite one family group at a time to the altar.
- Offering plates will not be passed during the service. Tithes and offerings may be placed in the plates in the back of the sanctuary or worshippers may use one of Bethany’s electronic giving options.
- At the end of the service family groups will be dismissed starting in the back of the sanctuary.
- There will be no coffee or doughnuts between services. If you desire to mingle, you will be asked to do so outside of the building, while keeping a safe distance from each other.
- We will continue to provide online service resources for people to access from home. This way, everyone will still have the opportunity to worship and hear the message.
