Worship Services @ 10:30am
If you plan to attend a worship service, please sign-up ahead of time if you have not already
IMPORTANT UPDATE (11/20/20)
In light of the recent increase in the spread of COVID-19, and until further notice, please wear a face mask when entering and leaving the building. You may take your face masks off while seated, and please remain seated during the service and practice social distancing while you are present. Also, the CDC recommends that the following people should not wear face masks: children younger than 2 years old, anyone who has trouble breathing, anyone who is unable to remove the mask without assistance, or those who cannot tolerate wearing mass due to sensory, cognitive, or behavioral issues. See the CDC Considerations for Wearing Masks for more info.
Intro: Our guidelines listed below are based on two goals: 1) Offering in-person worship services that are God-glorifying, Christ-centered and Spirit-filled; and 2) Establishing guidelines that promote a healthy, safe environment with a flexibility that maximizes enjoyable, social interaction for the whole congregation, with an overall Christ-centered unity. These guidelines are also based in part on the governor's COVID-19 Guidance for Worship, his 5 Phase Plan for Illinois, and the response we received from the 31 people who submitted their COVID-19 surveys. Thank you!
Services: Our worship services and our live streams start at 10:30am each Sunday and the live stream recordings are available afterwards as well. The elevator lift, the restrooms and kitchen sink are available for you to use.
Attendance: We are limiting our attendance, and have about 30 people attending on a regular basis. We have about 50 chairs set-up for social distancing which is less than half of our occupancy. All those who plan on attending an in-person service should fill out the Sign-up form provided above if you have not already (either for regular attendance or for this coming Sunday). Please do not attend if you have a fever, are feeling sick or having COVID-19 symptoms. If you or someone in your family tests positive for COVID-19 and had recently participated in an in-person event on our church property or sponsored by our church, please promptly notify one of our elders. Names will be kept confidential but we need to notify those who use the building that this has happened. Thank you.
Social Distancing, Face Masks & Protective Measures: Please practice social distancing while you are here. Hand sanitizer, face masks and Clorox wipes will be provided. In light of the current increase in the spread of COVID-19, face masks should be worn when entering and leaving the building, and you may take your masks off while seated (see the "Important Update" listed above for more info). Chairs are set-up together in rows with space in between each group of chairs. Household units should sit together to maximize seating and social distancing. Thank you.
Children's Ministries: We are in direct communication with families who have small children to work out the details necessary to accommodate your needs and those of other families. Let us know if you have a child care related need.
Inviting Others: Many of you have already been telling others about our live stream or promoting it online yourselves. Thanks! You are welcome to invite visitors to begin attending our services. Because we are limited with our indoor attendance, visitors should also fill out the Sign-up form (see above).
Your Help is Needed: For those in our church family, we are asking you to help with set-up or tear down for outdoor services, and for cleaning & disinfecting for both outdoor & indoor services.
Live Streaming: You can continue to view our live streams on Facebook, and gospel videos for kids and sermon notes are available on our Messages 2020 webpage. You do not need a Facebook account to watch these videos. When you go to our Facebook page, if you are asked to sign in, select "Not now" if you don't have a Facebook account, and then look for the live feed. Please contact our church office at (847) 886-9550 or lrbcefca@gmail.com if you would like more information, or if you or someone you know has a need or would like to be contacted by our church. Thanks be to God for the opportunity we have to meet together and live stream our worship services!
