Preparations for Re-opening

June 21, 2020

As we begin to look at re-opening the church, we are watching the current numbers for COVID-19 in NC. The number of confirmed cases continues to rise, therefore we are not looking at re-opening any time soon. We understand one reason for the numbers rising is that more testing is being done. Part of these numbers are from people who have had COVID-19 and recovered. If we re-open too soon, it is still possible for one who has had the disease to infect another who has not. Therefore we must be even more careful to re-open.

​

Once we re-open, there will be one way into and out of the church. We will use the vestibule and will have touch-less sanitizing stations set up for members to use. Each member will be asked to wear a mask and the seating arrangements will be different as we will be implementing social distancing.

​

We will also be implementing our own form of contact tracing. This means we will be keeping a record of who sat where in the church just in case someone unfortunately tests positive. We would contact the member(s) who were seated near that individual informing them of the need to self-quarantine for 2 weeks.

We feel this will help to prevent an outbreak within the church body.

​

For now, please note that the following Morning Star events are cancelled:

1. Singles' Sunday - Cancelled

2. Worship in the Park - Cancelled

3. Community Cookout - Cancelled
