PHASE 4 REOPENING

In-Person Service Guidelines

We’re so glad you’re considering attending our Sunday Service for this next phase of reopening. In Governor Northam’s latest news release, all social distancing and capacity limits are being lifted with the continued downward trend of cases. We feel it is appropriate in this phase to remove social distancing requirements and will continue without an RSVP system.

*removing the RSVP system also removes our ability to gauge whether we’ve reached maximum capacity for service. To ensure you have a spot, arrive on time!

however, we recognize everyone has varying comfort levels with these adjusted safety guidelines, Please practice mindfulness of those around you!

Please see below for how this applies to the structure of our service.

outdoor service

At this time, we’ve decided that with state covid-19 restrictions easing we’re putting our emphasis and efforts into hosting Mega-Tables well (see below!). Our intention behind the outdoor service was primarily to serve as an opportunity to attend while restrictions were in place. Now that they are lifting, we would like to invite you to attend indoors and if you are not comfortable doing so - we would love for you to join us for Mega-Tables outdoors directly following service, see below for more info!

For all those interested in attending the indoor service, please read below.
