Here's What We're Doing at Munger About the Coronavirus

in

At all times, we want our folks to feel as safe as possible when coming to church; in times of crisis and with fear whispering in our ears, it’s more important than ever that the Church comes together on Sundays.

No one knows the future, and no one knows exactly how the Coronavirus will affect our city.

That being said, there are some prudent steps we can take to be prepared, starting this weekend.

Here’s What We’re Doing at Munger About the Coronavirus:

  • All doors will be propped open, so no one will have to pull on a doorhandle.

  • Instead of passing the offering plate, we’ll have big offering baskets near the exits into which folks can drop their offering. (Giving online is always an option!)

  • We will NOT be serving doughnuts at our morning services.*

  • We will not pass the peace or shake hands. Elbow bumps it is!

  • We will clean and disinfect all surfaces after each service.

*Don’t worry, in place of doughnuts we’re going to have individually-wrapped treats of some sort for those of you who can’t sit through church without a treat! And, because our local doughnut shop depends on our church’s business, though we will not be actually asking them to make our usual order, we will keep paying for it for the time being.

 

Here’s What You Can Do To Help

  • If you’re sick, stay home!

  • If your children are sick, please keep them at home.

  • Bring your own hand sanitizer. (We have supplies for a couple of months, but our suppliers are unable to restock at this point, so if you bring your own sanitizer, it will help our supplies last.)

  • If you’re not sick, come to church!

 

No one knows the future, and we are all in the hands of God. But that’s always true, isn’t it?

We have an opportunity here to show our neighbors the difference faith in Jesus makes.

Let’s do it.

Don’t be afraid; just believe. (Mark 5:36)
