WELCOME TO GRACE CHURCH

Hello Grace Church Family

We are excited to let you know that on Sunday July 19 we will hold our first service since March in the church building. The doors will be open at 10:00 am and our service will begin at 10:30 am. Our building will be cleaned and sanitized in advance and we will be ready to welcome you.

We want to ensure the health and safety of everyone as you return to church. The Thunder Bay District Health Unit has put a number of protocols in place that we must follow. Sunday Morning worship will be different and we want you to know about some of the changes that will be in place. We are limited to 30% of our capacity and that number is about 75 which includes the worship team, pastor, technical team, ushers etc. as well as congregation members.

1.Social Distancing–please observe the 6 ft. distance as you enter and exit as well as during the service

2.Face Masks/shields are required. If you have a mask, you are asked to bring it and wear it. We do have some masks available. Our worship team will play music and sing for us. No singing is allowed by the congregation members

3.Entrance and Exit will be by the main front doors only. You will be asked to enter and exit directly, no stopping to visit. Pews will be marked where you are allowed to sit and an usher will escort you to a seat. Couples and families are able to sit together. Each group/person will be socially distanced from others. On exiting the building the back rows will exit first. You may visit socially distanced once you are outside. There will be no hand shaking or hugs while in the church.

4.Hand sanitizer will be available.

5.Contact Informationis required. We will be taking names of all attendees.

6.Children’s Programs–There will be no nursery or children’s programs available

7.There will be no coffee fellowship following the service.

We are looking forward to seeing you when you are able to return to church. We will continue to record our service and post it on YouTube for those who are unable to come back right now. It will be posted later on Sunday.

Sunday July 19thwill be an exciting day, we hope you are able to join us.

May God Bless each of you!
