Coronavirus Response

SALEM CHURCH CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE

At this unique time in our world, we must take extraordinary steps
to ensure the safety and health of all people.

IN-PERSON WORSHIP

We are currently worshiping in-person. The following is what you can expect when you join us for worship at Salem. We humbly and sincerely ask that those worshiping with us
would please follow these guidelines:

1. Entering the Building – Please use the main Sanctuary entrance.

2. Ushers – They will be stationed at various locations in order to help and answer any questions.

3. Masks – Following CDC guidelines, we kindly ask those attending to wear masks while entering, exiting, and moving about the sanctuary.

4. Social Distancing – An usher will help us to sit in such a way so as to leave space between us and spread out throughout the sanctuary. Families are of course allowed to sit together.

5. Bulletins – The bulletins will include copies of all readings and music necessary for the worship service.

6. Singing and Congregational Readings – Because singing in particular tends to spread germs further than normal, we will remain seated throughout the service, not attempting to project loudly.

7. Communion – On Communion Sundays, prepackaged cups with grape juice and a wafer will be used.

8. Offering – The offering box is in the Narthex. Online giving is available as well.

9. Exiting – At the end of the service, an usher will dismiss you.

10. Restrooms – Restrooms are available in the Educational Wing.

11. Rev. Jeremy – At the close of the service, he will take a place outside the main entrance where he can greet you as you leave worship but physically distanced, without hugging and shaking hands.

12. All are Welcome – No one will be turned away from our worship services.
