Ways to Worship with Us |
COVID-19 Precautions |
|
During this Pandemic we are grateful to be able to offer three different ways to worship with us:
- Sunday 9:15am Livestream - Every Sunday we offer a Worship Livestream at 9:15am on Facebook (search for Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Massillon, Ohio). In this service we pass the peace and share prayer requests through the comments of the Livestream. Starting November 1st we will also be sharing communion through the Livestream. You can pick up individual containers of bread and juice at church for this purpose. - Sunday 9:15am In-Person - Starting November 1st church members will be able to worship with us in-person at 9:15am in the sanctuary. You must make a reservation by contacting the church office by the preceding Wednesday in order to attend. This is a full worship service and is about 70 minutes long. - Sunday 6pm In-Person - Every Sunday we offer a Simple Service of the Sacraments at 6pm in our Community Center. This service is roughly 40 minutes long and you do not have to make a reservation to attend. |
We are taking many precautions to keep our community safe during this Pandemic:
- Masks are required at all church activities. - Physical Distancing - Our worship spaces are set up so that members are seated at least 6ft apart from one another. - When Stark County's COVID-19 risk level is red or purple all in-person activities are suspended. In-person activities resume when the County risk level is lowered to orange or yellow. County levels are updated at 2pm on Thursdays. You can access the county map here: https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/public-health-advisory-system - Contact Tracing - we take attendance at all in-person activities so we can notify people if we have a confirmed COVID-19 case in the congregation. - Sanitation - We are limiting the use of each of our spaces to once a week so that the virus dies naturally before we use the space again. |
Faith Formation at Home
|
This Pandemic has made it difficult for us to gather together in-person for Faith Formation activities but that does not mean we can't form our faith at home! We are pleased to offer a few different methods of at home Faith Formation:
- Church Kits - Our Church Kits contain a variety of activities like crafts for kids, weekly reflections, and a family movie night! These monthly kits are free and can be picked up at church during office hours. - Zoom Book Club - Book Club meets on Tuesday nights 7-8:30pm through Zoom. This Fall we are reading Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held Evans. You can sign up for book club by contacting Pastor Katie at pastorkatie51@gmail.com. |
