OFLC's Stance on Newest 11/20 restrictions and protocols,
Grace and peace! As a community of faith, we are called to “bear one another’s burdens, for in that way you fulfill the Law of Christ.” (Gal. 6:2) During this time of the pandemic, this is especially true. Please read the attached letter, which explains steps leadership has taken in order to keep everyone safe, but still continue to minister to people’s needs at this time. The most significant changes are that from November 22nd through December 31st, groups meeting in the church must be 10 persons or less. Worship and Sunday School will continue in-person, with additional safety measures. If you should have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Pastor Aaron or Melissa. Thanks!

Palm Cross – COVID Procedure:
Palm Crosses are a valued tradition at OFLC and a way we extend care and support to those in need. During this time, our original way of utilizing the palm crosses is not COVID-safe. So in order to ensure we can continue this practice, we are resuming our practice as follows: - If someone would like to request a Palm Cross for someone, they may contact Melissa in the Office, or Norie Siers, Congregational Care Coordinator. Please give the name of the person you are requesting a Palm Cross for, and your name. - Palm Crosses for those people will be displayed in the sanctuary on Sunday, and prayed over by the congregation. The Palm Crosses will then be properly sanitized and packaged in order to be delivered to the person to receive it. You will be contacted by either Norie or Melissa to let you know the cross is ready for pick up at the church so that you can deliver it to the person. - If the cross is presented to the person while they are present in worship, it will be properly sanitized and given to the person by the service coordinators, or another worship leader. |
