Health and Safety Updates
UPDATE to KEEP US SAFE
Our heart as a church family has always been to keep each other safe as we worship together. We have worked with the Tippecanoe Health Department and are in compliance with recommendations from Mayo Clinic, John Hopkins University, and the CDC. Based on our research, these are our recommendations going forward to keep one another safe.
COVID-19 cases are escalating in Tippecanoe County and it is imperative that we take care of one another by taking these measures of precaution. Our hospitals are reaching maximum capacity in terms of the number of staff to care for patients.
Pastor Jeff and the WHCC pastoral staff request the following guidelines as we walk through this season.
We ask that everyone two years and older wear a mask. Please wear a mask in the following settings:
When entering and exiting the building
We request you wear your mask while standing in worship.
When speaking and socializing with others.
You may remove your mask when seated.
If you are unable to wear a mask due to health reasons or personal convictions, you are still more than welcome to attend. We ask that you please social distance and respect other’s personal space while you’re here.
During this time, please respect one another’s personal space.
Please do not engage in close face-to-face communication and hugging.
We ask for you to only sit with your family and people in your social bubble.
Please be diligent to wash and sanitize your hands, and continue to follow good health safety practices.
If you have ANY symptoms at all, PLEASE, stay home. That includes any and all cold-type symptoms – fever, runny nose, sore throat, sniffles, cough, etc. We will continue to livestream and you are invited to watch our online service.
We ask for those who are ages 60+ or have higher risk health concerns to please attend the Sunday 8:30 AM worship service. Our 10 AM and 6 PM Sunday Services, along with our Wednesday Midweek service, will remain open to all.
Let’s all endeavor to be caring and sensitive with our words and our actions. We must operate in the fruit of the Spirit – no matter what our position is. (Galatians 5:22) We will walk in love and give careful thought before saying or posting words that may be divisive, judgmental, or be hurtful to people in their current situations. We are the BODY of Christ. Let’s love one another and continue to have a servant’s heart.
