Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Great News! Our Church is re-opening soon! Our Church Council approved the plan to open the first week of June.(Thursday, June 4th @ 6:30 p.m. No Communion & Sunday, June 7th @ 8:00 & 10:15 a.m. No Communion)

Safety concerns are a high priority as we gather to worship. We will resume offering the Lord’s Supper in church on the last Thursday and Sunday of June (25th& 28th). ***You may call a pastor if you wish a private devotion and/or communion***

We also ask you to observe some healthy practices recommended by our county health department;

---- If you are sick, please stay home.
---- If you are in a high-risk category for Covid-19, please feel free to stay home.
----If you are not ready to come out for a church gathering at this time—stay home and worship from there—it is God-pleasing.

** We will still record services and have them available later **

---- We encourage our members to bring and wear a mask, but this is not required.
---- We will offer masks at the door if you need one. Ushers will also use masks.
---- We will have hand sanitizer available for you at church.
---- We ask you to observe social distancing from others who are not of your immediate family and to sit by worship folders set in every other pew.

Please take those worship folders home with you!
We plan to also use Screens for the Sunday services.
Hymnals and Bibles will not be in the pews.

--- The toys in the quiet room will be packaged up, please bring your own.
---- Offerings should be placed in the boxes or baskets in the back of church.
---- The ushers will sanitize and wipe down the exposed surfaces after each service.

Pastors will stay in the front of church at the close of the service. If you need to speak with a pastor, please come up after others are ushered out.

If you would like to borrow a hymnal to use at home, please ask a pastor after the services.

Peace in Jesus,
Your First Lutheran Church Council
