About the Cover: The heart of the Reformation is the cross of Jesus, which brings salvation freely by His work. When it comes to God’s perfect Law, no one is excluded from its accusing power because all have sinned. Neither is anyone excluded from the atoning work of Jesus Christ in the cross. © 2020 CPH Artwork: ©CPH

The order of service and bulletins will be available for you to pick up off the table.
Families may sit together, but all others should try to maintain six foot spacing in the pews. Hymnals and Bibles will remain.

Congregational singing will be kept at a minimum, speaking will be done instead of chanting.
Bathrooms will be available; the ladies lounge door will be left open to limit touching. Cups will be available near the drinking fountain for use instead of drinking directly.
Communion: Pastor and any assistant will sanitize their hands before handling the elements. The safest mode of administration is intinction where the Pastor places the wafer dipped in the wine on your tongue so that you do not touch it. If desired, however, the Elder will hand you the wafer and you will pick the individual cup out of the tray where they have been spaced out. You will be ushered into the aisle and proceed in one continuously moving line, keeping six feet between non-family people. (Masks may or may not be worn up to the front, depending on your comfort level). Please partake while you are in the front and return the individual glass before sitting down.
You will be dismissed by row, beginning at the back; please go directly outside and not gather in the Narthex.
