Dear members and friends of Harmony Grove Baptist Church,
After much prayerful consideration, the deacon board of Harmony Grove Baptist Church has decided to open the doors of our church for Worship Services starting on Sunday, June 28, 2020.
To keep our church family as safe as possible, we will be implementing certain changes. These are only temporary measures, but what we believe to be necessary at this time. IF YOU ARE HIGH RISK, OR NOT COMFORTABLE WITH OR WILLING TO ABIDE BY THE GUIDELINES, PLEASE STAY AT HOME. Services will continue to be broadcast on Facebook Live. Remember this is only temporary, we pray that soon we can see everyone with no restrictions.
· The church doors will be open at 10:30 with Worship beginning at 11:00.
· Congregating in the parking lot before and after church is discouraged.
· Entry and Exit will be thru the breeze way doors only. All other doors and the basement will remain closed.
· Hand sanitizer and masks will be available.
· Please feel free to wear a mask. Masks are recommended but not required.
· Please refrain from handshakes and hugging.
· The water fountains will be turned off. Small bottles of water will be available outside of the sanctuary.
· Someone will seat you and your family. Households/family units will be seated together starting from the front of the church. Flow in and out of the Sanctuary will be per household/family unit.
· Households/family units will be separated by 6’ on each bench. A spacer or guide will lay on the bench that can be slid to allow for proper seating.
· Every other bench will be utilized.
· There will be overflow seating in the fellowship hall and speakers set up there. If this is full, then we ask you to join in the service from your car using Facebook Live.
· Bulletins will be placed on the benches.
· At the end of the service each Household/family unit will be dismissed from the back to the front of the church in an orderly fashion.

· Wipes/disinfectant will be available for you to disinfect after use.
· Musicians, song leaders and their families will be seated in the choir loft to eliminate members from having to move around the church.

· If you have been diagnosed with, or have had contact with anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
· If you have been asked to self-quarantine by any hospital, doctor, health agency, or by the state and/or federal government.
