In-Person Worship Services

Each Sunday, Faith United will be holding two In-Person Worship Opportunities at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. These In-Person Worships will Include Holy Communion.

Due to the updated guidelines from our Synod, there is No need to ‘Sign Up” for worship. We are confident that we are able to accommodate everyone who wishes to attend worship in-person on Sunday morning, either at the 9:00 AM Service or the 10:30 AM Service in a manner that is as safe as possible for all. All are welcomed to any of the Services.

Guidelines

The only entrance to worship will be the ramp door on the side parking lot.

Doors will only open 15 minutes prior to worship. Please do not arrive earlier than this. Upon arrival, please wait in line to enter by standing at the marked spots outside the ramp door. An usher will greet you and guide you through the process of getting a bulletin and getting to your seat.

Please wear a mask to these gatherings. There will be some masks available for those who need access to one. We know that this is uncomfortable, but that it is a concrete step we can take to protect and preserve the life of our neighbor and that it enables our return to worship. Thank you for your compliance.

We will maintain a distance of 6 feet from one another at these services. It is such a joy to see one another in person, and we give thanks that this indoor option will provide that opportunity to us. However, please maintain safe social distancing and refrain from touching one another. We will pass the peace by waving to one another. Ushers will guide you to your seat.

If you are not feeling well, have a cough, fever, or sore throat, please worship from home that week. We are still one body of Christ, even when we aren’t physically gathered.

Single-use paper bulletins will be available. Everything you need for worship will be in These bulletins. We will also have large print copies available. We will not sing during these services.

Offering will be collected in a plate next to the bulletins on your way in and out of the sanctuary, in lieu of passing the plate.

 We will distribute Holy Communion as an optional part of these Worship Services. One household will come forward together at a time, maintaining safe distance from other congregants. Hand sanitizer will be available to use prior to removing your mask and again prior to replacing your mask. Pastor Marissa will distribute wafers with tongs in a contact-free manner while wearing a mask. We will be using port wine until further notice, as the slightly higher alcohol content reduces the risk of bacteria spread. Wine will be distributed in single use pre-filled cups that congregants will pick up and dispose of themselves.

We are committed to thorough cleaning of the sanctuary surfaces between all services.

 The nursery, classrooms, fellowship hall, and other public spaces remain closed at this time.
