CDM Community Church Congregational

RE-OPENING NEWS

As California continues its grand reopening process, we will continue to worship in person and on line.  We encourage you to do whatever feels safest and most comfortable to you!

You can expect the following at our in-person gathering on Sundays:

 Worship:

• We will continue to worship at 10 am.
• While we will have printed bulletins in the Sanctuary, you can also access the bulletin online.
• We will have an offering plate/bowl available in the narthex of the church for Sunday offerings. You can also continue to give via our church website: https://cdmucc.org
• Hymnals are back in the sanctuary.  We are asking those who choose to sing to do so wearing masks, which can be removed following the hymn(s). (Masks will be available in the narthex.)
• On Sundays when we greet one another, no one should feel obligated to shake hands, hug, or bump fists. Peace signs and head nods are entirely acceptable.

 Live-Stream:

• To worship with us online, follow this link: cdmucc.org/youtube

Hospitality:

• Hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout our building.
• We have returned to our Post-Worship Fellowship Refreshments out on the Patio each Sunday!

 Capacity:

• At the request of our Head Usher (and given the varying comfort levels of folks within our faith family), we are aspiring to maintain a six foot distancing between groups, and three feet when that isn’t feasible. As brothers and sisters in Christ, let’s continue to recognize and respect the concerns of others in regards to space and social distancing.

 Masks:

• Masks are recommended for those who have not been fully vaccinated and recommended for anyone who would feel more comfortable wearing one.

Bring your hopes. Bring your burdens. Bring your prayers and praise. Whoever you are, wherever you are on life's journey, you are welcome as we worship God together.

Join us this Sunday, November 7, 2021 at 10:00 AM either in person or live-streaming at www.cdmucc.org.  This Sunday is Covenant Sunday where we will Consecrate our covenants for 2022 and celebrate all of God's love and blessings on our congregation as we look ahead. We will also remember those saints of our congregation who have passed on to life eternal. Pastor Bob's sermon is entitled "Just Another Picture on The Wall", with the Scripture lesson from Matthew 6: 19-21 (NRSV).

Be sure to join us after worship out in the Courtyard for an extra special Fellowship time of Coffee and Conversation!  See you on Sunday!
