GCC REOPENING PLAN
May 22, 2020

We are making plans to resume on-site services in June, and we would like to hear from you. Please review the proposed strategy and guidelines below (click a topic to see more details), then complete the brief survey to give us your feedback. 

FAMILY-STYLE WORSHIp

• There will be no childcare or classes for children, youth, or adults. 
• Worship will be ‘family-style’, sitting together and staying together while in the building. 
• Worship bags for preschool and elementary kids will be available.
• Please keep children with you at all times.  

ONLINE CHURCH OPTIONS

• Online services will continue at gcchapel.org for those who cannot attend or do not feel comfortable attending.
• We will continue to stream live during our services.
• We will offer recordings of services on demand.

SOCIAL DISTANCING

We will be enforcing social distancing (maintaining a distance of at least six feet from others, excluding those attending together). Examples include:

• Limiting total building capacity (reservations may be required)
• Providing separate overflow areas via live feed 
• Using offering boxes rather than passing plates 
• Encouraging continued use of digital bulletins 
• No mingling in café, concourse, or other common areas
• No coffee provided

ADDITIONAL SANITATION MEASURES

As a precaution we will be implementing additional sanitation measures to help protect the congregation, including:

• Leaving exterior and Worship Center doors open during entry/exit times
• Sanitizing touch points in common areas
• Providing hand sanitizing stations throughout the building

​MASKS

• Masks are recommended by the CDC, but not required. 
• We will offer a mask-only room as an option for those who prefer it.

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND IF 

• You are sick
• You are symptomatic
• You have recently been exposed to COVID-19 (or at high risk for exposure)
• You are not comfortable attending at this time

GIVING OPTIONS

• Offering plates will not be passed during the service.
• We will provide collection points for cash/checks.
• We encourage you to give online, through automatic bank draft, or through the mail.
