COVID Precautions (Updated 4/2/2021)
Ever since we first reopened for in-person Sunday services, knowing we could not eliminate all possible Covid-related health risks, we have taken various steps to reduce those risks (as well as to comply with related mandatory guidelines). Measures we have taken to lessen the risk of Covid transmission include:
- Temperature checks on arrival
- Hand sanitizer stations
- Reduced number of seats to help increase spacing, and setting up chairs so families, couples, and individuals can be seated consistent with distancing guidelines
- Providing masks for those who need them
- Signs to remind all of us of these and other simple ways we can work together to reduce infection risks out of love for God and one another
- Encouraging all to keep the doorways and hallways clear so others can more easily maintain social distancing when moving through the building
We are continuing to livestream and record our Sunday services so those who have symptoms that might reflect Covid infection, as well as any who prefer to postpone in-person gatherings, can still participate remotely.
These safety measures remain in place for the time being. However, as of 4/2/2021, we will no longer require advance RSVPs to attend our worship service.
To facilitate these precautions and modified seating arrangements, we still ask everyone who attends in person to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before our service begins.
This will give those checking temperatures sufficient time so that no one feels rushed.
It allows the ushers more time to help everyone get seated.
It limits in-person and on-camera distractions once the service has begun.
Whether you join us in-person or "virtually," all of us at CCRS appreciate your continued prayers as God leads us through these challenging times!
