What to Expect This Summer
Greetings Harrah Church family,
On Sundays this summer, we will worship together at 10am with a potluck to follow. You can find all the information about worship gatherings - including summer menu plans - on our events page at www.harrahchurch.org/events.
We know that joining back together in a large group might raise some concerns about protecting your health, and we want to encourage each of you to sit with the Lord and follow His lead on when you return.(Ecclesiastes 12:13)
If the Lord is leading you to continue staying at home, please join us online at www.facebook.com/harrahchurch.
For everyone returning to worship with us in person, feel free to communicate what your boundaries are and what you feel comfortable with to those around you. The Word says we should look not only to the interests of ourselves, but also to the interests of others, so love your spiritual family well and prefer others over yourself. (Philippians 2:3-4)
We know that for a church full of HUGGERS navigating the waters of social distancing might be a little challenging. When in doubt about how to greet one another, just ask!
Still have some questions? This might help.
What should I expect this Sunday?
We are in phase 3 of the governor’s plan to re-open our state. This means that we are mostly back to business as usual. Our Sunday mornings will look a lot like they did before we closed our doors.
The lobby will be open for fellowship with your spiritual family.
There will still be a greeting/hand shaking time after worship.
The nursery will be open for children 5 years of age and below. Kiddos ages 6 and up will worship with their parents for the duration of the summer.
We will worship the Lord, pray in the altars, and hear the Word preached with all authority.
What about masks?
You are free to wear a mask if you want to! If you choose not to wear a mask, you will not be required.
What if I don’t want to participate in the greeting time?
No worries! If you aren’t into all the hand shaking and hugging that goes down in this building, you may stay seated during the greeting time and we’ll just say hello to you from a distance.
Will I still be able to practice social distancing during the service?
The requirement for an empty row in between every row of seated people is no longer in effect. There will not be specific seating allowing for social distancing at this time.
Will you be providing masks and hand sanitizing stations?
We will not provide masks for you to wear, but we will certainly support you wearing your own. Touch free hand sanitizing stations are found throughout the building.
Grace and peace to you all,
Jenny Brockman
