Reopening Plan Guidelines, updated January 5, 2022
Plymouth Congregational Church will continue many of our normal ways of functioning. Below are the guidelines that will be followed. Services will continue to be streamed online for those who do not wish to or are unable to attend. The Reopening Plan Guidelines will be discussed and reevaluated at the monthly Cabinet meetings. Updates in bold are intended to get your attention, not to give any section more importance over other sections.
The Cabinet's recommendations have been made with thoughtful deliberation. We need to be aware that COVID variants and cases are still found in all 50 states.
Thank you for your dedication to Plymouth Church, and for your understanding of our efforts to keep everyone safe.
We strongly recommend immunizations for those persons for whom they are indicated.
If you are feeling ill or suspect exposure to COVID-19 or its variants, please stay home.
Pews are no longer labelled as designated seating. We instead recommend maintaining social distancing of 5-6 feet between attendees. If different households would like to sit together, that is their choice.
Attendees may enter through any of our entrances: north, south, and west. Ushers will be present at the entrances to assist with any questions.
Personal belongings such as coats or hats can now be left on the coat racks.
Due to the rapid spread of the highly contagious Delta and Omicron variants we respectfully ask and expect people to wear masks while inside our church building. This is for the safety of our preschool children and staff as well as everyone in the indoor space. We desire to keep our church building safe, active, and open.
Hand sanitizer will be available at the entries.
Worship bulletins and offering plates will be available at the entrances/exits.
Singing to the hymns and choral responses is okay with a quiet, low projection of your voice whether masked or not masked. Due to our knowledge that choral ensemble singing has proven to be a higher-risk activity for the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, our choir will remain masked for worship services and rehearsals. This is for their safety as well as the safety of everyone in the indoor space.
Coffee, lemonade, and cookies will be served in Fellowship Hall after the church service. As you gather to greet one another, please keep in mind the CDC recommendations regarding masking, social distancing, and other safety measures.
The Nursery and a modified Sunday School for ages K-12 is now offered each Sunday. Teachers and nursery attendants caring for the children will be masked. Children 5 years of age and older should wear their masks until they are fully vaccinated.
Use of the church building during the week by members or outside groups will continue. Groups who meet here will be given the current CDC guidelines and updated as the guidelines change. We will refrain from scheduling back-to-back or overlap use of a room by different groups. Wearing a mask will be optional in the church building.
Thank you for your dedication to Plymouth Church, and for your understanding of our efforts to keep everyone safe during this time of transition.
