- Our ushers will be there when you get to church this Sunday for worship, to open the exterior door for you as you come in.
- We will have sanitizers (please feel free to bring yours if you so desire) available for your use as you enter the sanctuary.
- The doors of the main sanctuary will be open so that you do not have to touch any doors.
- We are a hugging and warm friendly people, but for now we will greet each other with warm smiles,elbow bump or fist pump. No hand shakes or hugs.
- Our hospitality (ushers) will help with the sanitizing of our bath rooms and other equipment as needed.
- For those who are currently sick with flu like symptoms, we ask you to completely heal at home. Call me directly (585-789-1074) for prayers and immediate attention. The deacons and I are available to pray with you as you heal.
- Use good hygienic measures to protect yourself and others; when you cough or sneeze, cover mouth and nose and please make sure you sanitize your hands. Always wash your hands with soap and water as you go through your daily activities.
- Most of all be prayed up, if you have anointing oil, bring it this Sunday and we will pray over it for your use. Ask Jesus to protect you against this virus and any other disease. Read and pray Psalm 91 Over you and your family.
- We will be declaring Psalm 91 over you this Sunday as a prayer of faith. We as a people of faith stand on God's word and we literally believe in it. (2 Chr. 20:20)
