OUTDOOR WORSHIP: At this time, we are planning on providing an option for and outdoor, in-person worship using the following criteria:
Worshipers would be asked to pre-register for worship because of limited space to allow for social distancing.
If weather permits, participants would gather in Vinje's parking lot for worship.
Sunday worship would be from 9:30-10am. Wednesday worship would be from 6-6:30pm
Worshipers would be asked to bring their own lawn chairs and place them at already marked, socially-distanced locations. Families would be allowed to sit together in groups.
Parking would be available in the parking lot for those with mobility issues. Others would be encouraged to use street parking.
Everyone would be required to wear masks for the duration of the service, which would allow for worshipers to sing together, as well as recite parts of the liturgy out loud (i.e. Confession and Forgiveness, The Lord's Prayer, and the Apostles' Creed).
There would be no in-person Communion at this time.
There would be no fellowship time prior to or following worship.
In the case of inclement weather, an announcement would be made an hour prior to worship, and we would move worship indoors. Registered families could then make the decision of whether they felt comfortable attending worship indoors or not.
