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.
