Face masks must be worn by everyone (masks will be available to take)6-10 ft physical separation between people not of the same family, at all times.

Admission into the sanctuary will be approx. 15 minutes prior to the service. Cleaning of the pews and other surfaces will be completed between services, and after the 11am service.
