Helping Make A Safer Worship Experience
In light of Covid-19, we have made a few changes to help create a safer worship environment for everyone.
PURIFYING THE AIR Advanced air purifiers have been installed for the Sanctuary and Narthex (the entrance into the Sanctuary). These air purifiers kill 99% of many kinds of airborne molds, bacteria and viruses - including such viruses as H1N1, and the virus that causes Covid-19.
OFFERING In lieu of passing offering plates, Offering Boxes are in the Sanctuary to receive your Sunday offering while entering or exiting the Sunday worship service. Thank you for honoring God and the ministry of Ocala West UMC with your thoughtful giving!
CONNECT CARD Instead of passing Attendance pads, you will receive a Connect Card when you enter the church. This Connect Card will help you share your attendance, offer prayer requests, and sign up for upcoming groups and events. Just drop the Connect Card, with your offering, into an Offering Box as you exit.
HOLY COMMUNION Instead of passing Communion elements in the pews, worshipers are invited forward to receive the elements. For those who would like to receive communion but are unable to come forward, communion servers will come to them where they sit.
SEATING FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING - Sections on the left and right side of the sanctuary have been designated seating areas with social distance between each pew (every other pew). Additionally, mask only seating has been designated with gold spacers on the right side of the sanctuary (when facing the cross).
