Hedges Chapel values your health and wellbeing. In consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic, church leadership created the following policies and procedures for when in-person worship at Hedges Chapel resumes.
 
For your safety, the following actions are being taken:
 

The Worship Service begins at 10:30 a.m.  There is no Sunday School or Children’s Church.  We fully understand if you have reservations about attending, such as you are at a higher risk.  If you are feeling sick, please stay home and worship with us on Facebook (Sunday’s Service is streamed live at 10:30;  the recorded session is posted afterwards on Facebook to view later). 

For in-person service, arrive a few minutes early and please follow the greeters’ and ushers’ instructions.   They are here to help keep us all safe.    

Masks/Face Coverings are highly encouraged (and may be REQUIRED depending on County level such as ‘Red Alert Level 3’).  Free masks are available for you (cloth ones or disposable ones)

Social Distancing: Respect others and be 6 feet apart

  • You will be seated from front to back, every other pew blocked off
  • Children stay with parents through Service.  The nursery is not staffed; parents may use it to tend to their child’s urgent needs and should sanitized after use. 
  • Families should be seated 6 feet side-by-side (opposite end of the pews)
  • Only do “virtual” hugs and handshakes
  • Please do not congregate inside the building after the service and exit the building when excused

Place your Tithes & Offerings in the plates at the rear of the sanctuary

Please note that greeters are sanitizing high-touch areas and the church is sanitized weekly.

Remember to wash your hands and use hand sanitizer.
