GUIDELINES FOR OUTDOOR WORSHIP for Faith Community Church

Beginning Sunday, Sept 27, at 9:00 AM we will begin worshiping together outdoors in Westgrove Park, Garden Grove (the same place we hold our church services).  Guidelines and expectations for the worship services are taken into consideration by the Leadership of Faith and the recommendations from the CDC. 

​

We will continue offering our services online. In the event of rain, the outdoor service will be canceled and communicated on our website by 8:00 PM, Saturday night prior to that Sunday morning.

So please keep a distance of 6-8 feet between different households, and individuals before, after, and during the service. During this season of change, let’s refrain from hugging, shaking hands, and any other form of physical contact according to the CDC guidelines and for the safety of yourself and others.

1. Please bring face masks for your household (as appropriate).

2. When you’re outdoors and maintaining social distancing, our understanding is that you don’t need to wear a mask. 

3. Singing is okay, but face masks have to be worn during this time of the service. No song books or sheets will be provided.

4. Offering Box will be placed in the back of the worship area, but we are still going to be taking offering online at our website.

6. Restrooms are not available, they are closed at the park.

7. Coffee, water, and goodies will not be provided (but feel free to bring a water bottle, coffee and a donut from home).
