Smithers Christian Reformed Church
Our COVID-19 Plan
We’re all eager to be back together.
The leadership of the Smithers Christian Reformed Church is meeting regularly to determine how to move forward wisely with our plan for (re)gathering together. The protocols described below are informed by CDC Guidelines, the Provincial Health Orders, and their practical implementation for our congregation and facility. This is not a set system, but rather an ongoing and evolving plan for bringing us back together in a way that protects the most vulnerable members of our congregation and our community.
Guidelines, recommendations, and safety protocols are incapable of creating a 100% risk-free or safe environment. We ask that you show grace and love in following our guidelines in an effort to limit the spread of the virus. By entering our facility, you are accepting that protocol will be followed to reduce or mitigate risk, but that the risk cannot be reduced to zero.
Church Council will be working through the Public Health Orders as they arise and are tasked with ensuring all our activities fall within prescribed guidelines. If you have any questions, feel free to email elders@smitherscrc.com.
There are no current Public Health Orders that apply to worship services.
We will welcome you at the entrance and will have hand sanitizer available for you to use. If you you would like to wear a mask, you are welcome to do so.
Signage is in place to help show you where to go upon entering the building, and ushers will help you find a seat in the sanctuary.
We are committed to taking every reasonable precaution to help protect the health of your family. We appreciate your cooperation during this time. Our custodial staff work hard to keep our facility clean and safe for all to use.
If you would like to start a ministry, please reach out to our elders at elders@smitherscrc.com and they can work with you on your plan for starting up.
We Need Your Help!
From readers to greeters to worship leaders, we need lots of help to make worshiping in person possible! If you or your family are interested in serving in some way on Sunday mornings, please contact us and let us know!
