Bi-Weekly Outdoor Communion Service Announcement
Wednesdays @ Noon
Sundays @ 2 PM
FUMCCV Quad
July 15 will mark 130 days since the last time the Sacrament of Holy Communion was celebrated by our spiritual community….that is a very long time. As Methodists we are encouraged to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion as often as possible, and yet, here we are on a fast of 130 days . The Covid19 pandemic has changed many things about life and a significant one is the inability to gather. The Sacrament of Holy Communion is to be celebrated together (read the Gospel, Acts and Corinthian accounts) and only in special circumstances, such as for the infirmed, do we extend the table for individuals.
Beginning July 15th there will be two opportunities every week to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion (Wednesdays @ Noon and Sundays @ 2:00 pm.). These services will take place outside in the Quad and will last only about 10 minutes….welcome, prayer, liturgy, & commune. Here are some important Do’s and Don’ts.
DO
- Self screen for Covid19 symptons before arriving to church (fever, cough, shortness of breath)
- Park nearest the Sanctuary and enter the Quad at the southwest corner
- Be screened by ushers
- Let the usher know if you need a chair or can stand or sit on the grass for the 10 minute service
- Wear a mask (if you don’t have one we will give you one)
- Stay socially distanced
DON’T
- Come to campus if you are experiencing any of the Covid19 symptoms
- Violate the social distancing standards (if found in violation this experience could be shuttered)
- Park under the solar panels and pass through the Preschool area (especially Wednesdays). We are adhering to very strict licensing guidelines for operating the Preschool and we do not want to jeopardize these operations with non-essential people entering the Preschool space.
- Expect a full worship service….this is a simple time of prayer, liturgy and receiving of the Sacrament
There are lots of “new normal” ways of life to which we will need to adapt. For the time being, this is the new normal of celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion together…all are invited, come as often as you so desire to receive this means of God’s grace.
