Announcements (new items on top)Info for in-person weekend services:
In light of the orders by the Lake County Health Department and the Governor of Indiana we do ask everyone to wear a mask when social distance is hard to maintain - entering and exiting the building and when otherwise moving around. We are also setting aside the far south section (far left when you’re facing the altar) for those who agree to wear masks throughout the service, so that those who feel they cannot risk being near unmasked people can still attend if they choose. That section will be ushered out first, and will have the side door directly to the outside available so that they do not need to go through the narthex. We added the 11:00 am service and it will be a service without singing. But it will not be a service without praise. This service will also have everyone wearing masks for the whole service. As we’re all aware, people have a wide range of susceptibility and “acceptable risk” regarding Covid-19, so the 11:00 will seek to serve those willing to congregate for worship but who prefer no singing and everyone to be masked. As always, we recommend (not insist, but encourage) those who are elderly or particularly susceptible to continue using the livestreaming and receive the Sacrament privately by appointment either in the home or at church.
