​Greetings on this weekend that we partially reopen ABC!

After considering federal, state, and county authorities, we will be worshiping together this Sunday! Things will definitely be different though as we gather together. The elders met last night and prayerfully made decisions regarding this Sunday. Much of it is common sense which you’ve heard before but here it is again:

• If you are sick or have symptoms and/or are at risk, consider staying home and joining us online.
• Use good hand hygiene and cover coughs and sneezes.
• Practice social distancing.

Our plans for Sunday include:

• We will gather at 11 a.m. (no Sunday School)
• Pews have been moved six feet apart. Family groups can sit together. Otherwise, pews can accommodate a couple at one end and a single person at the other.
• Masks are now required by the state.
• Pew Bibles, hymnals, cards, and pencils have all been removed..
• No beverages or food will be provided. Bring your own if needed.
• There will be no nursery or primary church. All classrooms, nursery, and kitchen are closed off.
• At the close of the service we will be exiting starting with the back rows.
• We encourage talking and fellowship to happen outside of the building.
• Bathrooms are available. Please practice good hygiene and leave it cleaner than when you entered.
• The building will be thoroughly cleaned each week between services.
• There will be an offering box available or you can continue to send your gifts through the mail or give online.
• Sermon transcripts and study questions will be available on the church website. They will not be available at the church.

We know that not everyone will agree with all the decisions we have made. According to the surveys that were turned in, we have people with opinions from all sides. Our duty is to love and respect the decisions of one another and not impose our convictions on others.
​
If you have questions or concerns, please contact me or one of the other elders.
Looking forward to seeing you!
