Members of Redeemer,
We are planning on opening up for services on June 7th with some obvious changes.
First of all, we are encouraging anyone who is considered "at risk" to not attend. If you cannot watch the service on the internet please let Barbara Miller (409-892-3286) know in the church office or Kathleen Shipley (409-351-0025) and we will do our best to get a DVD of the service to you. For those who plan to attend, we encourage you to wear a face mask. If you do not have one, we hope to have a limited supply available. We also plan to have some hand sanitizer available at the entrance to the sanctuary. We will not have ushers to limit contact. Bulletins and an offering drop box will be on the table located at the entrance to the sanctuary. We are asking that people attending sit according to households or who has been living with you in your home. we also ask you maintain at least 6 feet between households if you sit in the same pew and leave a pew open both in front and in back of each household. To help with this we will have each pew marked that you can sit in. We will not have a greeting and , at the end of the service, I will dismiss you by households again minimize contact. On leaving, we ask that you go directly to your vehicle and not stop to talk with others. When we have communion, I will distribute by myself and I will ask you to come up according to households. After I commune each household I will use hand sanitizer to help insure no transfer on germs.
We will not be holding Bible Classes at this time as well again to minimize contact. The services will still be recorded and placed online as we have been doing for those who are not able to attend.
We hope that the time we have to continue like this will be limited but this will at least allow us to get back to some kind of normalcy and worship together .
Thank you and stay safe.
In His Service,
Pastor Kelm
