  Our Redeemer's Re-Open Plan

  June 2, 2020

  Dear Family of God at Our Redeemer,

  It has been 8 weeks since we closed our doors to members sitting in the pews. These are difficult days and we are divided. In an effort to re-open our doors the leadership of Our Redeemer has come up with a plan to have you once again sitting in the pews. Please know that we are praying for you during this difficult time.

  In His Service,

  Pastor Barry Akers

  Our Redeemer’s Re-Open Plan

  Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer will continue offering our phase one drive-in worship services in the parking lot throughout the month of June. Our last Sunday for drive-in worship will be June 28th, 2020.

  Alongside stage five of the state of Indiana’s Back on Track, we will begin phase two by offering worship services in the sanctuary beginning the weekend of July 4th and 5th, 2020. Services will be held at 5:30 pm on Saturdays and 9:30 am on Sundays. Our capacity is 100 in the sanctuary, 15 in the balcony and an overflow of 60 in the Fellowship Hall if necessary. That limits worship to 175 at each service.

  Upon entering the campus, please park and enter the church through the main doors into the narthex. Doors will be locked at the start of the service and an usher will let in any latecomers.

  During stage 5 of Back on Track please keep in mind that masks are recommended but not required. Extra masks will be available at the Welcome Center for those who need them.

  The pews have been set up so that we can maintain social distancing. Upon arrival you will be ushered to a seat. We understand that this may not be your normal pew, but we ask for grace as we seek to optimize the seating capacity for our services. Please sit in family groups.

  During the “Children’s Message”, we ask that children remain in the pew with their family. They may wish to stand on the pew to see better.

  For the reception of Communion, we will continue to use the prepackaged communion sets, which you will receive as you are seated. We will commune from the pews.

  After the service has ended, an usher will dismiss attendees by pew, and we ask that you leave the church the way you entered. There will be a wooden chest in the narthex for your offering and a bin for your bulletin, if you do not wish to take it home.

  Pastor Akers will be outside to greet you. We understand that many of you want to socialize and see friends face to face, having been absent far too long, however, please continue to practice social distancing and be considerate of others.

  At this time there will NOT be Bible Class/Sunday School. After the services, the narthex, sanctuary, and restrooms will be disinfected. We will also clean the doors and pews.

  For those who are not ready to return to the sanctuary at this time, the 9:30 am service will be live-streamed on Facebook. After the service it can be watched on demand on www.LCORKokomo.org. Everyone at Our Redeemer understands if members prefer to stream the services rather than attend.

  This Our Redeemer Re-Open Plan has been developed for your protection and for the protection of every member of the Redeemer family and all her guests. Please be considerate and loving. We understand that these are trying and uncertain times, and your leaders and Pastor Akers are trying to implement a Phase 2 practice that will make it possible to resume corporate worship together inside as God’s family.

  I’m sure there will be adjustments as time progresses. It could expand in scope or become less restrictive in Phase 3 and 4 in the weeks, months, and maybe even years. Be patient. May God help us, keep us, and protect us as, we move to Re-Open Our Redeemer. Please feel free to contact Pastor Akers or one of the leaders listed below, if you have questions and or concerns.
