COVID

We are so excited to announce that we are returning to on-campus services!

However, we do want to point out that we are not “returning to normal”. Not yet anyway.

It is our intent and goal to not only meet CDC (and local) guidelines for gathering together but to go above and beyond to ensure we are doing everything we can to keep our church family safe.

“High Risk” service at 9 am

This service time is for those that are at a higher risk (senior adults and ones with medical issues)

Senior adults aren’t required to attend this service, but it is offered as an extra precaution for those at high risk.

Morning Worship at 11 am

**(for all who are ready to rejoin us for worship)**

Requirements for each service:

• Masks are to be worn at all times.
  • We don’t wear masks to protect ourselves but to protect others, so please help us protect the health of our church family.
  • If you don’t have a mask, we will have some available on site.
• Observe social distancing.
  • Ushers will seat family groups together with 6 feet in between groups.
  • This means you might not get to sit where you normally sit so please be understanding.
• If we fill to capacity in the sanctuary, we will have overflow into the gym where the same guidelines will be observed.
• We will sanitize the common areas in between each service.
• Everyone will enter through the back of the sanctuary and exit by the organ doors.
• There will be no envelopes, hymnals, or pens in the pews and no offering plates passed.
• If you would like to drop off an offering, there will be areas to do so as you enter and leave.
• If you still have some concerns about coming back, you can continue to join us online for worship!
  • You can view the 11 am service either on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ sharonknoxville/) or on our website (www.sharonknoxville.com).
• Please don’t come if you are running a fever, don’t feel well or have any other COVID symptoms.

Please be patient with us. We are months away from normalcy and everything is still a work in progress but we are excited to be coming back together to worship!
