TBC RELAUNCH GUIDELINES
We are excited to be able to meet together again to worship God and hear from His Word. In order to do this in a safe manner, we will be following AHS and provincial health guidelines. Please familiarize yourself with the following guidelines and procedures for attending Sunday services.
Individuals with symptoms of COVID-19, individuals who have travelled internationally in the last 14 days, and individuals who have had close contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases in the last 14 days are prohibited by law from entering the building.
If you are not feeling well or are experiencing cough, fever, shortness of breath, runny nose, or sore throat, please do not attend the service.
We have made a number of adjustments to the way our Sunday mornings will happen in order to protect one another.
Attendance will be taken for the purposes of contact tracing should a case of COVID-19 be identified among our attendees. By attending the service, you are consenting to the collection of your name and phone number for this purpose only. This information will be kept on site and will be destroyed two weeks after it is collected.
At this time, we will not be having congregational singing as it is not recommended by health authorities.
The offering plates will be set by the exit doors to the sanctuary. You may deposit your offering as you go past. The debit machine is not available this week but will be available for June 28 if you wish to give in that way. Online giving is still available through the church website: templebaptist.ca
We encourage everyone to use the washrooms at home before you come. If needed, the church washrooms on the main floor will be available.
We encourage you to visit with each other outside the building. There will not be opportunity to linger in the foyer as we would like to get people in and out of the foyer as efficiently as possible.
Entrance to the building will be at the front door only. When you enter the building, you are asked to sanitize your hands. You are not required to wear a mask but you may wish to. We encourage you to bring your own mask if you would like to wear one. The ushers and greeters will be wearing masks.
Access to the main floor of the sanctuary will be through the middle doors. The balcony may be accessed by the foyer stairs near the washrooms. At dismissal, the main floor sanctuary will exit back through the middle sets of doors and out the front door. The balcony will exit down the foyer stairs and through the back parking lot door. Ushers will dismiss attendees by row starting with those closest to the doors.
Families are encouraged to sit together to maximize space for others. You are expected to maintain 2 m of distance from other family groups.
The nursery will be unavailable and there will be no separate children’s ministry. Parents are asked to keep their children with them in the service.
No coffee or refreshments will be provided.
Please maintain 2 m of separation when greeting one other. Shaking hands, hugging, or touching is discouraged.
We are working on ways to make the service available online for those who cannot attend.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the church office.
