UPDATE:  JUNE 25,  2020

IN PERSON WORSHIP TO RESUME JULY 5
On June 23, the St. Peter Church Council voted to begin phasing back into worship. Our first in-person worship service will be July 5 at 9 am. Please note the time. There will be protocols expected of all who wish to attend worship. These protocols include:

  • Everyone must wear a mask.
  • Everyone’s temperature will be taken.
  • We will practice social distancing.
  • There will be limited sanctuary capacity.
  • There will be no singing or spoken congregational responses.
  • Communion will be available.
  • All attendees must reserve a space prior to worship. Only people with “reservations” will be permitted in worship. This is intended to ensure that we can maintain social distancing protocols.
  • If someone attends who does not comply with the protocols, we will cancel worship for that day.
  • Those who are in vulnerable-to-COVID-19 categories are urged to stay home.
 
Remember our goal is to safeguard the health of all members of our congregation.  With the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the nation and in our county, these protocols are more necessary than ever.
 
A detailed list of these Return to Worship Guidelines can be found here and under “Worship.” The guidelines were also mailed to all households on June 25 and sent via email on June 26.
 
10:30 SERVICE TO BE BROADCAST
We will continue to broadcast the 10:30 worship on WLKR 95.3 and on Facebook Live.  The broadcast service will be the full Service of the Word that we have been offering during the pandemic.
 
OTHER CURRENT GUIDELINES FOR BUILDING USE
These other building use guidelines adopted by the Council in May remain in effect:
  • Small groups: Small church groups (10 or less) may meet in the narthex, as long as social distancing is practiced and masks are worn. Contact Kathy at the church office to schedule your small group meeting. Groups will also be expected to clean and disinfect the tables, chairs, and bathroom (if used). Groups might also consider meeting outside in the picnic shelter or on the lawn. Call to reserve the shelter.
  • No children’s activities for the summer: The Council has decided to cancel all inside activities involving children for the duration of the summer. This applies to both St. Peter activities and non-St. Peter activities. Groups with children are welcome to meet outside. Call to schedule use of the picnic shelter or other outdoor space.
  • Outside groups: Non-St. Peter groups will be notified by email when they are permitted to resume meeting in the building. Non-St. Peter groups may meet outside in the shelter or on the grounds of the church. Call to reserve the picnic shelter or other outdoor space.
 
VIRTUAL VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
An on-line VBS will be offered the week of July 13-15 on the St Peter Facebook page.   If you have child(ren) age preshool-6th grade, please call the church to register.   We will prepare VBS to-go bags for all children who register.   The bags will be available for pick up the week before.   Our theme is the Parables of Jesus.   All children are welcome, not just St. Peter families.   Again, please call the church to register by ​July 1.
 
FIRST COMMUNION
We will be offering an on-line version of First Communion class. Children in the 4th grade (or older) are urged to participate and children in 1-3 grade are welcome to participate, provided their parents feel they are ready to receive the sacrament.  After completing the on-line class, the pastor, teacher, and a couple other church leaders will do a rite of First communion at each child's home.  If your child(ren) wish to participate, please call the church office to register-even if you did so already.   Registrations are due July 1.  After we have a list of participants, we will schedule the class.
