WAYS TO WORSHIP

On September 28, the Session of NorthPark Presbyterian approved taking the next step in returning to in-person gatherings.
 
Beginning October 5:
  • In-person church programs (10 or less participants) may be scheduled inside the church building
  • Staff may begin to work onsite (with the option to work from home with approval)
  • The congregation may meet with staff onsite (by appointment only)
To attend any indoor or outdoor church events, the following safety measures will be enforced:
  •  Self-screening for Covid-19 symptoms (to be completed every time before you arrive) Self-screening Form Here
  • Wearing a face mask for those ages 3 and up (except when eating)
  • Social distancing from others not in one’s own household
  • Avoiding any physical contact (including hugs and handshakes)
  • Hand sanitizer will be available
  • The building may be accessed through the North Entrance doors by Fellowship Hall
Of course, NorthPark will continue to offer worship, educational and fellowship events online. And the Task Force will continue to meet and plan for the day when the building may be opened to more people and larger groups, only when it is safe and prudent to do so.
 
We pray that you are all staying safe and healthy, and welcome your input, suggestions, and questions. The Task Force covets your prayers. Please send your comments and questions to Rev. Nicole Bates anytime at nbates@northparkpres.org.
