In discussion with the elders, it was decided that our 7pm Saturday night service will go to restricted status. What does this mean?

It means:

1. Individual Cup and Common Cup will be offered.
2. You must sign up on the website: https://signupschedule.com/grace (It would be helpful if you would signup early in the week….say Monday or Tuesday, in order that the proper number of bulletins can be made. When you sign up, in the comment section, mark whether you want common cup or individual cup….just like before.
3. We will practice social distancing but the pews will not be marked like before. Congregants are just expected to sit in every other pew. No more than four to a pew unless you are in the same family….and less if you are not.
4. No offering will be taken….a basket will sit in the narthex for offering.
5. Hymnals will not be used, IOW, hymns will be printed in the bulletin.
6. Masks will be required until time to receive the Supper. (I suppose if you came without a mask we will still let you in.)
7. Please, no socializing in the narthex. If you want to shake my hand you may do so….I don’t mind….but that will be up to you.
