Description

Morning Prayer Rite II (adapted) with congregational singing (Courtyard) Worshippers will be required to check in upon entering the worship space. The purpose of checking in is to facilitate contact tracing: if someone who attends worship at Heavenly Rest is diagnosed with COVID-19, our check in software will allow us to contact everybody who was in the church building with the person who had the diagnosis. Checking in may delay entry into the worship space slightly, so worshippers may want to arrive a few minutes early. Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes before a service begins, in order to allow adequate time to sanitize the worship space. Worshippers are required to wear cloth face masks when attending church. The purpose of wearing face masks is to curb the potential for the asymptomatic spread of the virus. Masks will be available at the entrance to the church. The Peace must be exchanged in a manner that avoids physical contact (e.g., waving, bowing, hand over the heart). If you are immunocompromised, feeling ill, or are at all concerned about your health, please do not come to church. The 10:30 service will be broadcast via Facebook Live for those who wish to continue worshipping remotely. Outdoor services:​ Worshippers will be asked to bring their own chairs or blankets for this service, to limit the amount of setup required from our custodial staff. Worshippers will enter the Courtyard through the north gate (closest to the Gerhart Hall entrance). After being checked in, worshippers will pick up a pew sheet from a basket near the entrance to the Courtyard. Ushers will count the number of people entering and direct people to an area of the Courtyard. When the Courtyard reaches its maximum capacity, people will be asked to attend another service. There will be no receiving line at the end of the worship service. Worshippers are asked to take their pew sheets home with them and to leave the church campus as soon as possible. Departing worshippers may leave through the north or south gates.
