Worshiping Together Safely – UPDATED MARCH 31, 2022
Bethany Presbyterian Church continues to operate in compliance with Sacramento County Health COVID-19 mandates.
Here are the guidelines we ask that “in person” worship service participants follow during this uncertain time of COVID-19 pandemic:
The wearing of masks indoors is optional if you have undergone both the initial two COVID-19 vaccinations and a booster. Please wear a mask if you feel more comfortable doing so.
Instead of passing around the attendance pads, we will have our greeter(s) welcome you and note your presence.
Similarly, the offering plate will not be passed. Baskets will be available for your offering.
Communion will continue to be served in individually wrapped packages.
The social time after church has resumed. Please observe hand-washing and food safety protocols.
We suggest you continue to keep appropriate distance between you and non-family members. There is ample room in the sanctuary to enable everyone to “spread out.”
Please do not attend if you are feeling unwell or running a fever.
If you become ill following a worship service, please contact the church office ASAP.
Services will continue to be available for viewing at home live on Facebook or later in the week on the website.
