BISHOP TODD'S VISIT

• Because we are limited to numbers that maintain physical distancing as much as possible, it is necessary to reserve a spot each week. Please email/contact me (Debra Rastin debrastin@rogers.com)
  as early as possible every week. Once we have reached our limit, your name will go on a waiting list, and will go to the top of the next week's  reservation list.
• It is necessary to self-screen each week prior to coming to Church. Please ask yourself the questions on the attached PDF file. If you answer yes to any of the questions, please do not come to Church, and let me know so that I can invite someone on the waiting list to attend.
• Masks are mandatory at all times. If you need to take a mask break, please leave the Church before removing it. 
• Please observe the 6' distancing markers at all times. Markings begin outside the Church.
• When you enter the Church, please use sanitizer and Check In with me to confirm your contact information. This is a great time for me to ensure that what I have is up-to-date! 
• Please move upstairs and wait for a greeter to seat you.
• The collection plate is at the door of the nave. It will not be passed during the service. If you are using envelopes/loose cash, please put your collection on the plate before moving to your seat.
• The greeter will show you your seat. It is not possible to move once assigned a spot.
• The explanation of movement during Communion will be done prior to the service.
• We will stay at our seats during the Peace. You may acknowledge others from there with a wave, the peace sign, and smize (smiling eyes). 
• At the end of the service, please wait for the greeter to direct you out of the Church. Use sanitizer on the way out, and please do not linger, always maintaining social distancing. As always, refrain from touching those not in your personal bubble. 

Wow! That sounds like a lot, and I agree that seems overwhelming, but it really isn't. I have been to several Roman Catholic services, and it all flows nicely. I think the hardest part is not shaking hands/hugging those in our Church family. But we can do it to keep everyone safe and healthy!

Sincerely yours,
Debra Rastin
