It is important that we follow the Alabama Public Health Department’s guidelines for places of worship:

• If you have been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, are experiencing a cough, shortness of breath or sore throat, have had a fever in the last 48hrs, have experienced new loss of taste or smell, have experienced vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24hrs or been in contact with anyone who has had any of these symptoms, we ask that you participate in our services remotely.

• We strongly encourage people 65 or older and anyone who is especially at risk to participate in our services remotely.

• Everyone who attends on-campus worship services will be expected to practice social distancing. Please no handshaking, hugging, etc. Every other row in the worship center will be clearly marked as “closed”. Please do not sit on any row that is marked as such. Two or more members of the same household can sit next to one another. There should be at least 2 empty seats between families. Masks are optional.

• We will have a team of volunteers to disinfect surfaces such as door handles and seating between services on Sunday. Hand sanitizer will be available at the welcome center desk.

• Offering plates will not be passed during services. We will provide collection baskets in the Commons and Worship Center. You can continue to give online or drop off during church office hours. You may also mail your offering to the church.

• Coffee will not be served. Drinking fountains will be closed.

• Please enter and exit through the Worship Center doors. All other exterior doors will remain locked. Please use the restrooms nearest the Worship Center. We will adjust these guidelines as needed.
