Dear Chapel Oaks Family,
Chapel Oaks reopened on June 27; however, that does not mean there is no health risk in doing so. Following the on-site worship service protocols, listed below, will go a long way to mitigate the risk but nothing can eliminate it entirely.
- Social distancing will be practiced – only every third row of pews will be marked for occupancy
- Due to the nature of random movement and unforeseen circumstances the use of face coverings or masks are required, as the same orders in Johnson County apply to Chapel Oaks. Masks must be worn at all times inside the building and outside when closer than six feet of another individual.
- Congregational singing will not be done during the Covid-19 crisis until further notice.
- All Sabbath schools will be online till further notice while we work out the social distancing complexities
- No paper bulletins
- Offering will be collected in a central box
- After services worshipers will be dismissed from the back and asked to please exit the building. Any socializing is to be done outside of the building.
- Our goal is to do our absolute best to protect the health of every attender and the vulnerable individuals they may in turn contact
- The reservations email will be emailed out at 3:00 p.m. on Sabbath afternoons from the church with a link to a simple form to make a reservation to attend church service the following week. Reservation opportunities will close on Wednesdays at 11:00 p.m. You will be notified by email within 24 hours of your reservation. If any member cannot manage an online registration you may contact Sharon Patterson, our communications coordinator, at 214-448-9091 and she will make the reservation for you.
- We certainly understand if you are immune compromised or are concerned about unnecessary risk to your health and choose to stay home and continue viewing our services online.
For additional information, attached below is the Covid-19 Re-open Committee Report - July 2020.
Blessings,
Chapel Oaks Seventh-day Adventist Church
