We rejoice that we are able to worship together in-person!

Please remember our service will be a bit different.  As we prepare to reenter the church building, there are many things you will want to know.

Safety Protocols ~  NGCC is committed to keeping our congregation as safe as possible. 
​
  • Due to the increase in COVID, masks are once again required, regardless of your vaccination status.
  • Masks, social distancing, and signing in (for contact tracing) will be required. Entering and exiting the building will be only through the door into the narthex. Windows will be open, and plexiglass will be utilized for worship leaders.​
  • Singing will be limited to a soloist, small group, (who will be behind plexiglass) or instrumental music.  A huge thank you we extend to Hallie, David, and our choir, for providing music throughout the pandemic and for finding ways to continue the music ministry with the current limitations.
  • Since physically touching others is considered unsafe, the Passing of the Peace will be from a distance. Instead of passing offering receptacles, tithes and offerings will be received at the entrance/exit.  You may also choose to use Tithly, the online app.
  • A “Wailing Wall” will be in the narthex for prayer requests. Those who wish for prayers may write their request on paper and attach it to the wall. Since we will be live-streaming worship, we will not be able to pray for specific individuals in the service for privacy reasons.
​Thank you ~ While some people feel that such protocols are unnecessary, please remember that others will not attend worship unless everyone follows them. We appreciate your cooperation and concern for one another.

Seating ~ In order to maintain social distancing, alternating pews will be roped off.
​
  • Instead of limiting attendees by number, we will be limiting by pews ~ with families sitting together, more people will be able to attend safely.
  • RSVPs are not required at this time.
 

Online Worship ~ NGCC will continue offering online worship. 
​
  • We will be live-streaming the service from the sanctuary. The live-stream will also be recorded for those who wish to worship online at a different time.
  • Many thanks to our technology team this past year for providing online worship, and smoothing the transition to live-streaming!​

Sunday School ~ Our Sunday School will also return to the building!

​
  • Volunteers & Teachers ~ With the wonderful activities planned for our summer program, we encourage our talented church members to join us on a Sunday and share their gifts with the children.  If you are interested in sharing your gifts, please contact Judith.
  • Location ~ Classes will meet outside weather permitting. They will be meeting on the brick entryway to the office. When weather does not permit, children will meet for classes in a regular Sunday School room. Masks will be required as a safety protocol.​
