In-person worship can be done safely now (with mask, social distancing, and
disinfectant). For those who do not feel comfortable attending in person, worship
services and the ZOOM bible study class will continue online.
• Pastor Melody will prepare an Easter Sunday video sermon to be shown on the
Sanctuary AV system. the following Sunday, April 11th and from then on. The service will include the Order of Worship (pre-Covid) with a lay leader, keyboard music/videos for hymns – but no singing
at this time. Your offering may be placed in the plate on the table in the Lobby.
• As you enter the church, register (pick up a mask, if needed), sanitize hands and go into the Sanctuary as directed by the usher; allow for social distancing.
• No Sunday School for the time being until we see how things progress.
• No Coffee Hour. People can bring their own coffee if they so choose and can gather outside after services to visit while social distancing. Meet and Greet time is suspended temporarily.
• Other groups using the church building (AA, NA, TOPS, Care Givers, and United
Methodist Women) will continue to meet as they have done all along.
We will take it slowly week by week, making tweaks here and there, as more things open in Michigan. Please be patient with us! If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us
know.
