Hello GCC-Sterling Family and Guests!

We are so excited to welcome you to our 10am Sunday service! We want to do this in the most safe and comfortable way possible.

Therefore, in accordance with social distancing guidelines, we are limited to 250 people at a time. Those desiring to attend in-person service will need to RSVP ahead of time. Please only RSVP for yourself and individuals within your own household. Each member of your household requires a separate ticket, including infants.

We will continue to offer an interactive online worship experience Sundays at 10am. Therefore, once registration is full, please continue to worship with us ONLINE.

For your safety, we've moved to a "Touchless" service, which involves the following:

• ENTERING through main entrance (right double doors) / EXIT out of the main front entrance (to your right). Our Ushers and Greeters will be positioned outside to assist you.
• Remaining seated at the close of service until an usher dismisses your section.
• Practicing social distancing at all times (even during praise and worship).
• Wearing a cloth face covering at all times if over the age of 2 years old (if you don’t have one, a disposable mask will be provided to you).
• Bathrooms will be limited to (3) occupants at a time.
• Before and after service fellowship will not take place, during this initial phase of opening.
• Greeting your friends with a wave or "air" hug to avoid contact (no fist or elbow-bumping, please).
• Multiple hand sanitizer stations will be located throughout the building.
• Our hospitality coffee and donut service has been temporarily suspended (with the exception of bottled water).
• We will have a no-contact offering. Please give online HERE , mail a check to 21631 Ridgetop Circle, Suite 200, Sterling 20166, or feel free on Sundays to drop your giving envelope in the offering receptacle located right outside the auditorium at DHS.
• Please don't attend if you have a fever, aren't feeling well, if you're in a high risk or vulnerable category, or live with someone who is.

Kid Builders:

In the interest of safety, until further notice, there will be no Kid Builders in-person children’s ministry offered. However, children are welcome to attend service. All children must remain with their family while in the building. We will continue to offer weekly enriching and encouraging Kid Builders lessons online that can be accessed on our social media pages or HERE.

LFT:

In the interest of safety, until further notice, there will be no LFT in-person youth ministry offered for middle and high schoolers. However, youth are welcome to attend service. All youth must remain with their family while in the building. We will continue to offer a variety of other ways for youth to connect virtually. Please email lftsterling@gracecov.org for details.

If you have questions with regard to the in-person worship service, please take a moment to review our FAQ page. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via email at sterling@gracecov.org

We are so grateful for your patience and flexibility in this season, and we're so thankful for you and your family. Things may look and feel a little different, but God's presence stays the same! Be expectant that He will meet us as we meet together!

Blessings,

The Grace Covenant Church-Sterling Team
