CHURCH RE-OPENING GUIDELINES

We’re excited to announce we will be resuming in-person Sunday services starting September 27th, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at Cotton Boll Elementary School (8540 W. Butler Dr., Peoria, AZ 85345). Upon re-entering, we will commit to following CDC guidelines for faith-based organizations which include, but are not limited to:

Providing protections for staff and congregants at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Online services will continue to be offered on Facebook Live. If you are a high-risk individual, please don’t feel obligated to attend in-person church services. 

For the safety of our church members and guest, we will implement the following processes:

• Temperature checks– anyone with a temperature of 100.3 or above will be asked to refrain from attending service that day. If you exhibit any COVID-related symptoms, please stay home and enjoy service online until symptoms have passed for at least 36 hours. 
• Mask are required– we kindly ask that mask are worn upon entering/exiting the building, attending altar call, walking in shared spaces or using the restroom. Mask are optional when sitting in your seat if proper social distance is maintained.Please bring your own mask if able, if not, we will have masks available if needed. Children 2 years and younger are not required to wear a mask. 
• Social distancing– seating will be arranged so that families/groups can maintain proper distance (at least 6 feet) from one another. Word of Life Apostolic Church will not utilize an online check-in system at this time.

If you choose to participate in alter call, please respect social distance standards. We ask that guest and members do not lay hands or pray over others physically unless they are in your group. If able, please join in prayer from your seat. 

All in-person Sunday classes, midweek services, and selling of food will be suspended until further notice. 

Tithes and offerings (cash/check) need to be completed with safe social distancing. In-person tithe collections will no longer be available during service. We encourage members to use the Church Center App (https://wordoflifeac.com/give) to give tithes and offerings. 

Increased cleaning and disinfection will occur:

• All sitting areas and church equipment will be sanitized before and after service
• Hand soap will be available in restrooms and hand sanitizer is available in common areas of the facility. 

We appreciate church member and guests following the above guidelines when attending service. Any of these guidelines are subject to change as recommended by Pastor Oscar Garcia, Cotton Boll Elementary, or the CDC. We’re excited to gather in-person once again!
