First Lutheran Church is again offering worship in-sanctuary in addition to its ongoing slate of online worship offerings. We commit to offering this additional weekly worship opportunity as safely and thoughtfully as we are able for as long as we are able.

Here is what you can expect:

• All individuals intending to worship in-person must sign up so that we can ensure sufficient physical distancing in the sanctuary. Attendance is limited to 80 worshipers.
• All worshipers 3 and older must wear a mask at all times inside the building, unless particular health conditions prevent it. Masks will be available for those who need.
• Enter the building by the glass doors at either end of the base of the narthex.
• Hand sanitizing stations will be available in the narthex and sanctuary. Please use them.
• Worship Ambassadors will help check you in and will direct you into the sanctuary using a one-way traffic flow. Enter by the center sanctuary doors. There will be a table where you can pick up a bulletin, pick up communion kits, and drop off your offering. Please use the side aisles to find your pew.
• Worship will include a limited number of spoken responses, but no congregational singing. We look forward to gifts of special music provided by our worship staff and volunteers.
• The children’s area in the back of the sanctuary is currently unavailable. Restrooms throughout the building remain open and available.

Your FLC staff, council, and COVID taskforce are committed to keeping you healthy and to showing love for neighbor in all we do. We hope that we will be able to continue offering this weekly in-person worship opportunity. However, if circumstances in our community change or if regulations and laws shift, be aware that we may need to discontinue this opportunity for a time.

Our online worship events will continue uninterrupted. Please know that online worship is a good, faithful, and legitimate opportunity for anyone of any age. We love worshiping with you, wherever you are and however you engage with us!
