First Presbyterian Church of Succasunna
Welcome
Due to the Governor’s guidelines of allowing people to gather outside we will tentatively begin worshiping outside.
Please find our church worship guidelines below:
-
Everyone must wear a mask when attending outdoor worship. The church has purchased disposable masks for anyone that does not have a mask.
-
We must physically distance ourselves when gathering. Spaces 6-12 feet apart will be marked on the grass for people to know how to space themselves appropriately.
-
Everyone must bring their own chair. No chairs will be provided.
-
We need two volunteers to be trained and to commit to set up the sound system. Please let Pastor Carie or Jane Rufino know asap if you are available and willing to do so.
-
We need one person to take attendance – for contact tracing if someone does become sick.
-
No one with any symptoms of illness should attend outdoor worship, we will still be live streaming on Facebook Live as well as uploading the service to Youtube and the church website.
-
We would like to keep the building closed, including the restrooms. We have purchased sanitized wipes for the bathroom in the event that the facilities have to be used. Please wipe down surfaces upon entering as well as leaving.
-
The Kitchen door and the fellowship hall door will be propped open so no one should have to touch door nobs/handles.
-
There will be no bulletins. The bulletin will be emailed out, so if you can open it on your phone or tablet, you may bring that to worship, or if you can print it at home, please bring your own copy.
-
There will be no fellowship time following worship. We will try to continue our virtual fellowship time on zoom.
-
We are being told that there should be no singing, even with masks and social distancing. I suppose we can hum along.
-
We cannot pass an offering plate. A box will be on a small table where offering can be placed either upon arrival to worship or when leaving. Offering can always be mailed to the church or you can use our new online giving option on the church website.
-
We understand that some people are not yet ready to gather in person. Please only do what you are comfortable doing. We are only planning outdoor worship at this time. More information will come in regards to indoor worship.
-
Our first tentative date for outdoor worship will be June 21 at 10:00am . Weather Permitting.
Our Sunday Morning Worship services can be found on the church Facebook page as well as here, on our Worship page.
