Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” And he answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.

SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR OUR RE-OPENING
The following are guidelines that the church Elders have compiled in order to keep everyone safe and healthy during our transition back to live services. The plan is to provide the safest environment we can for holding a service with a controlled number of people in the sanctuary. We are asking that our members do their part in helping by adhering to these procedures.
Upon entering the church, we request that everyone wear a mask of some type. We will have some masks available as needed, made by our craft ladies. Please bring your own if you have one.
An Elder or Usher will open the door to reduce number of people touching the doors.
We ask that people maintain their social distancing as they enter.
Some chairs have been removed to allow for distancing in the sanctuary. We do not want all chairs to be filled. Families may sit together but everyone else needs to distance at least one empty chair away from others.
We have removed all hymnals and the full service will be in the bulletin and in the PowerPoint presentation. Please take your bulletin home or throw it away after the service.
The church will be cleaned and sanitized once a week.
Communion will be done on a walk by procedure. People will be ushered up the middle aisle. Pastor will supply the bread and then they will walk left or right to an Elder holding the individual cup trays. Members will dispose of their cups and return to their seats. We remind everyone to self -distance as they process.
Offerings will be taken on your way out of the sanctuary.
When service is over, we request that members depart immediately to the portico or parking lot. If they choose to get together and talk in the parking lot that is up to them but we remind them to self- distance remembering that just because you want to talk does not mean the person you are talking to wants to talk. So, please respect everyone’s space and wishes.
We will not be offering coffee and snacks between services.
We will not be offering Bible classes or Sunday school for the time being.
We will continue to offer the on-line services.
Please, no hugging, hand shaking or passing the peace. ☹
