Christ UMC Re-Opening Survey

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

We, your staff and leadership, are discerning when to reopen for worship. As you may know, guidelines have shifted. We remain in Phase One, where cases are not consistently declining, and so gatherings of 10 persons or less are to be the limit. We are hopeful that cases will decline in Washington County, Ohio, the country, and world, and our first responsibility is to keep you safe. We know that in simply opening the doors for gathered worship, some will continue to choose to stay at home, until you feel it is safe to come out. We anticipate that as we return, we will ask for mask-wearing, we will be 6 feet apart by household unit in the pews, we will refrain from singing, and we may direct traffic flow. We are paying attention to the most recent recommendations, and we give thanks for your patience, perseverance, and faithfulness. Your perceptions and expectations for when we gather together again are important, so we invite you to complete this survey. Thank you in advance.
