Eucharist @ 8 AM
Join us for a Service of Holy Eucharist at 8 am on All Saints’ Sunday, November 14, 2021. 8 am Sunday Services will be held in the Chapel.
Story County is back to Phase 2 of the Abounding in Hope Plan for Regathering from the Diocese of Iowa. According to Bishop Scarfe, in-person services are allowed to continue in all phases with limited capacity: 25% for phases one and two; and 50% for when we return to phase three. We encourage all members to get vaccinated if they are able.
We will continue to practice caution and social distancing. All in-person attendees must follow these safeguards:
All attendees must sign in at the check-in desk when they arrive. This is so we have a detailed list of all attendees to ensure we follow contact tracing requirements.
All present (over the age of two) are required to wear masks at all times while in the building. Masks are available near the entrances of the church.
Singing with indoor voices is allowed at all phases, but is not recommended in Phase One.
All attendees should maintain six feet of distance between each other, except for members of the same family or household. Households may sit together as long as at least 6 feet of space is maintained between individuals & households.
Anyone who is feeling unwell, or anyone who is a member of a household where someone in the household feels unwell, should stay home.
Hand sanitizing stations are to be provided at entrances.
Seats and regularly touched surfaces should be disinfected after each service.
Bathroom traffic shall be limited and sanitizing wipes/spray will be provided in the bathroom. We recommend individuals and households use the bathroom before arrival.
At communion: we recommend that all communicants receive while standing and remain 6’ apart from each other in line or at the altar rail. Bread shall be the only element offered to the people and can be “dropped” into the hands of a masked communicant, who should wait until they have moved to take their mask down temporarily to consume, sanitizing their hands after they have touched their face on the way back to their spot.
