Reservations RequiredWe ask that you make a reservation to attend the Ash Wednesday Service in the Courtyard. In the event the church office is informed that a participant in the Courtyard service you attended is diagnosed with Covid-19, we will contact you with the contact information you provide.
|
Bring Your Own ChairPlease bring your own chair to worship. This keeps others from being exposed during set up and take down. If you need assistance with a chair, please note this when making your reservation.

No Congregational SingingPlease refrain from singing. Singing produces tiny droplets, called aerosols, which are less than 10 microns and easily slip through consumer face masks. For everyone's safety, we ask that you refrain from singing while on the property of Ocala West UMC.
|
Masks RequiredPlease wear a mask from the time you leave your vehicle until you return to your vehicle. Masks protect us from the droplets that naturally occur when someone is speaking. Typically, when droplets are released, they usually fall to the ground within 6 feet due to gravity.

|
Social DistancingPlease remain 6 feet away from those who are not in your reservation “party.” Please do not congregate on church property before or after service. Please do not approach or touch other people or their belongings.
|
Hand SanitizerPlease use hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer stations are available for your use prior to entering the Courtyard. Some transmission of the virus which causes Covid-19 is through touch, so washing hands and using hand sanitizer is important for everyone's safety.

Inclement WeatherIf the service is unavailable due to inclement weather, Holy Communion elements with Liturgy will be available for pick up for drive thru under the portico (in front of the sanctuary entrance). If this occurs, please join us for Ash Wednesday Online Service.
