Other Announcements:
With your safety and the consideration of others in mind:
• When preparing to attend worship service, please confirm that you and your family do not have a fever. If you have had a fever in the last 48 hours, please do not attend.
• Please sanitize your hands with soap or sanitizer, and utilize the hand-sanitizing stations located throughout the building.
• Please continue to wear a face mask during the more crowded times of entering and exiting the building, and practice social distancing.
• Please alert the church office if you test positive for COVID-19 within two weeks of attending an “in-person” worship service or another event.
• Walnut Street has a cleaning policy in place to disinfect the building prior to and after worship assemblies. We also have a plan to communicate with the congregation, when appropriate, precautions that can be taken so we can safely continue to meet.
Thank you for your support of the addition of our 7 am Sunday morning service which is now open to everyone wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and observing contact precautions when not in the assembly. This expands the opportunities for Sunday worship to three in-person assemblies (7 am, 9 am, 6 pm). Please continue to pray for an end to the pandemic, for those who are weak or sick, and for those who are healthy that they remain so.
