Please join us each Sunday in person or online at twitch.tv/clcenfield
In person worship will begin May 2nd. Council hopes to relax/remove some of these as we move forward and conditions improve.
1) Congregants should not come to church if they have any COVID or flu-like symptoms.
2) Your entry onto the premises of Community Lutheran Church is your acknowledgement
you understand that there are risks, which you take responsibility for, in attending group
functions/activities despite COVID precautions that the church is taking.
3) Congregants are asked to arrive promptly to allow for socially distanced “sign-in.” A sheet that
records Congregants’ attendance and contact info will be maintained by the ushers each Sunday,
to allow for contact tracing if necessary.
4) The only entrance will be from the double door on Main Street
5) Congregants must answer the COVID questions (posted on the door).
6) Please use the hand sanitzer upon entry.
7) Masks are required, nose and mouth must be covered. (Town of Enfield has a mask
ordinance)
8) Plan for windows to be open for better ventilation, wear warm clothing, coats.
9) Our sanctuary has enough space for 19 socially-distanced “stations”. A family group of
five or more people may reduce that number slightly, but the Usher will determine the
best socially-distanced seating for such groups when required.
10) The ushers will ensure congregants are seated in one of our pre-determined socially distanced
“stations”.
11) Congregants need to remain in their seats and will exit from the single door in the rear of the sanctuary
and then right out the door toward the mailboxes and then left out the exit door by the stairwell toward
Main Street.
12) The offering plate will be near the sanctuary exit door in the narthex.
13) There should be no physical contact between people while on the premises of the church. Maintain 6-
feet social distance.
14) Bulletins and the communion elements will be picked up as you enter the sanctuary. Used bulletins and
anything else in your pew must be taken home for disposal by the congregants at the end of the service.
15) For the benefit of worshipers watching on the live-stream, Pastor will still be able to speak and sing from
the upper altar area without a mask due to the large standoff distance to the nearest seating station. Additionally, she will turn to the side to face the sacristy while singing. Congregants may speak and sing as they will be masked.
16) The children’s play area in the rear of the church will be removed for now.
17) There will be no “coffee hour” the first couple of Sundays of reopening (May 2nd and May 9th) but we hope to resume with coffee only and social distancing probably outside after a couple Sundays being
open as we see how our plan works in reality.
We will be watching for COVID surges in our area as these will change what we do. If you have questions or comments contact council at council@clcenfield.org.
