Sign up to attend Sunday morning, May 2nd.
Dear Community -
As we begin to meet together at Northstar we will follow health protocols designed to keep our community safe. Opinions differ among individuals regarding the safety of meeting in person, we want to respect all by providing an in person service as well as a Zoom alternative. We ask those who attend in person follow measures to protect other attendees and increase the comfort level of all.
While this is not the Northstar we remember so fondly, it is the Northstar which we can have at this time. As the situation improves Northstar will move towards the service we were accustomed to and the fellowship we enjoyed prior to the Pandemic.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Here's what you need to know:
1. Please register by clicking here to reserve a seat in the Sunday service. Space will be limited based on current VA Department of Health guidelines and the size of our room. Space will be reserved on a first come first served basis. Things to keep in mind as you sign up: Please only sign up once. If you sign up more than once, then we get an inaccurate tally and have seats open that we could otherwise fill. If you're a couple, please sign up individually.The way the system works is you sign up for individual seats so signing up individually helps us make sure we have an accurate count and enough seats for our signer-uppers.
2. We ask that you wear masks while you are attending the service. Masks should fit snugly and should cover your nose and mouth and should remain in place while you are inside the building. Disposable masks will be available at the door. (Not only is this a health/safety guideline, it just generally helps others feel safe during a time of transition and anxiety. We know not everyone will be happy about wearing masks, but we're requesting this as an act of neighborliness).
3. Please practice social distancing by maintaining a 6 feet of space between yourself and others.
4. Should you experience symptoms of Covid or have come in contact with someone who has Covid please refrain from attending in person service.
5. Please enter the building through the main lobby door (your typical Sunday entrance).
6. Windows will be open to enhance ventilation; please dress accordingly because it might get a little chilly.
7. For those you who are part of a quaran-team together, you can disregard the 6 ft. guideline and sit in seats next to each other but at a 6 ft. distance from other attendees.
8. Sanitizing stations will be located at entry and exit doors and bathrooms. When exiting the bathrooms, please keep the exhaust fan on and open door wide!
9. At the close of the service we ask you to sit tight while we dismiss the group in stages so we don't have a bottleneck at the door, and humbly request you to socialize in the parking lot. (The exit door will be the door near the men's restroom on the “office” side of the building).
10. No food or drink will be served at the service. You can bring your own beverage if you like!
11. Music will consist of recordings/video of Steve and Brian.
12. Please contact Northstar if you suffer Covid like symptoms or test positive for Covid after attending the service by texting Scott or Teresa or going to the website.
13. We will continue to monitor relevant COVID-related statistics and make judgment calls about pausing the service if/when the team determines that to be a necessary health measure.
With gratitude for small steps - The Post Pandemic, we're gonna make this happen, Team!
