Welcome To Williamsburg Presbyterian Church's New Website!

Reopening

Sunday morning Worship starts at 11:00 AM. I want to first reassure you that we’ve studied recommendations from the CDC, been in touch with our insurance company, and looked at what other denominations and churches in our area are doing. The worship committee and the Session have given every consideration to a safe return. So, here’s what we’re planning:

No Sunday School, Nursery, or Children’s Church

No choir, anthem, or singing

An abbreviated Worship Service

Doors will be propped open before Worship and reopened afterwards

No Greeters or Ushers, bulletins will be in available in the Narthex

Offering plates will be located in the Narthex

Alternating pews will be blocked off by ribbons to help in social distancing

Families/people are asked to keep a 6 foot perimeter around themselves in seating

There will be a children’s/family time with children remaining in their seats with their parents

If the sanctuary is used between Sundays it will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized; current guidelines

Recommend that if the space is not used more than once a week sanitizing is unnecessary

Restrooms will be open, but we are asking that no more than one person (or adult with a child) use them at a time

The elevator will be available, but no more than one person at a time

We will live stream the service for those who are uncomfortable or unable to attend

Friends, there simply isn’t a way to make Worship completely safe or to allay all the concerns or fears some people have. So, we’re letting you know what we’re doing to keep things safe. We want to encourage those of you who choose to come to use common sense and common courtesy. And, because we cannot make this a strictly sterile environment or remove every element of risk, we encourage those who feel vulnerable or compromised, or those who are not feeling well to stay home. We’re looking forward to resuming public worship together, it’s been too long! Blessings on you and those you love, and…

Soli Deo Gloria!
