\nCHURCH WORK – What Does It Look Like?<\/strong><\/em>
\nChurch work looks like many different things. It can look like liturgy, it can look like Bible Study, it can look like reaching out to connect with others.
\nOr… it can look like this.<\/a> (updated!)<\/br>
\nLOOKING FORWARD and Getting Together –
\nNEXT STEPS – JULY <\/strong>
\nThanks for all your responses thus far! Please keep them coming!<\/em>
\nAs more people are vaccinated and COVID positivity rates continue to drop in our area,
\nCDC and State restrictions have eased, and MCC of Northern Virginia has been planning our next steps forward as a community.
\nAttendance in the facility during worship will require an advance “check in”
\nto let us know you are coming. Why? Our Seating is limited. <\/strong>
\nThere will be physical distancing. Masks will be required. We are also requesting folks be fully vaccinated (if that is an issue, please let me know). Until we have some better data, there will be no congregational singing. Finally, we are providing enhanced airflow and filtration (the motion of air reduces the risk of COVID-19 transmission).
\nWhile all reasonable safeguards will be taken, there will always be some measure of risk, and each person will need to make their own determination as to what is best for them.
\nThere will be physical distancing. Masks will be required, and we are also requesting folks be fully vaccinated (if that is an issue, please let me know). Until we have some better data, there will be no congregational singing. We are currently working to provide some enhanced airflow (the motion of air reduces the risk of COVID-19 transmission).
\nWhile all reasonable safeguards will be taken, there will always be some measure of risk, and each person will need to make their own determination as to what is best for them. SO GET READY! CHECK IN!
\nLet us hear from you! <\/STRONG>
\nSend an email to RevEmmaChattin@gmail.com<\/a> with “I’ll Be There” in the subject line if you plan to attend as soon as the option is available. “Not Yet” if you are getting closer, but not quite there yet.
\nA big thank you to all who have responded thus far!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
