Prayer Mailing List: Emmaus gathering

[Mark Krause (mkrause111]

This is from your new Community Lay Director, Ken Rees:

Finally - CCEC Monthly Gathering!

Tuesday, July 7, is our Covid Reunion Gathering at Sierra Vista UMC at 6:20.

I am a member of Sierra Vista UMC and have been attending Sunday services since they were allowed to reopen for worship. I have been impressed with the safety measures the leadership of the church has put in place. We will be following these guidelines.

Their guidelines include - In-Person Worship:

* Please be on campus by at least 5 - 15 minutes before the service starts.

* Those who are ambulatory will need to enter through the far back entrances (east side) of the Life Center Gym. Congregants may park in the lot next to the Bus Barn.

* Those with mobility issues will be invited to enter through the outside entrance near the Nursery. (On the north side of the building near the sanctuary)

* Those without a mask will be provided one. If you desire, you may remove your mask after you are seated.

* Hand sanitizer will be provided to individuals as they enter the Church building.

* Please follow all posted signs, as well as the directions of your ushers and greeters.

* The ushers are instructed to seat attendees in a specific order as you arrive to follow social distancing guidelines.

      Groups can be seated together if you desire, but you will need to pre-meet together outside of the sanctuary in the gym. All of the group needs to be present before                                 entering the sanctuary. Stragglers may not be able to join the group.

* The Church Nursery will NOT be open.

* We ask for your understanding, patience as we graciously comply with SVUMC's protective measures. And grace for everyone during this sensitive time.

* We will live stream the service at ttps://sierravista.org  There is a Facebook Live Stream tab on the home page.

Loving and Serving the Master,
