First Christian Church of Crescent

Important Information Regarding the Reopening of First Christian Church of Crescent

FCC will reopen for “in-person” worship service Sunday, May 17, 2020. In order to allow for adequate distancing, we will be offering two services. The first service will start at 9:00 a.m. the second service will start at 10:30 a.m. The worship services will be somewhat abbreviated, approximately 45 minutes. All services will be available on live stream through the "Watch Live" tab and Facebook at www.facebook.com/fcccrescent. We encourage our “at risk” population to remain home and join us via live stream.

As we begin the process of reopening we are being very intentional in our approach. Since the church family gathering is a top priority that is where we are starting. All other events and/or programs will remain canceled until further notice. This includes: Sunday breakfast, Sunday school, Bible study, FCC Students and FCC Kids. At this time, our nursery will also be closed. We ask that the young children remain with their family in the sanctuary.

• Doors will be propped open to limit the touching of door handles.
• Entrance to the sanctuary will be through the main (glass) doors only.
• Ushers will coordinate the seating of people to ensure adequate distancing.
  • Please wait at the back of the sanctuary to be seated.
  • Members of the same household will be seated together.
  • At the end of service, ushers will dismiss by rows.
• Hand sanitizer dispensers will be placed on the back tables in the sanctuary.
• Pre-packaged communion will be set out at each seat.
• Boxes for your offering are located on the two tables at the back of the sanctuary
  • We will not be passing anything from person to person.
  • There will not be any paper bulletins.
• For additional safety, feel free to wear a mask and gloves. The church has a limited supply available, ask the usher for assistance if you would like either or both.
• In between services, our deacons, deaconesses and volunteers will sanitize the sanctuary.
• The Connections area will be closed.
• If you have had contact with a person who is known to have Covid-19 you should self-quarantine for the CDC recommended period of time.
• If you have a fever or other symptoms known to be associated with Covid-19, please do not attend in-person services.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment for worship. These precautions are temporary and our prayer is that we can return to what we know as normal very soon.
