Liverpool Christian Church
Re-Open Strategy as of 4.30.2020

The re-open strategy for LCC will follow CDC and
NYS guidelines as they become available. The staff and elders of LCC envision a 3 Phase approach to re-opening which is subject to change.

Allow me to present a scenario: For the sake of this scenario let’s assume that Governor Cuomo begins to re-open our state to worship gatherings on Friday May 15 as currently planned. If that happens, Phase 1 will begin.

Phase 1 (3-6 month plan):
We will continue to offer virtual worship ONLY for at least 2 weeks prior to physical attendance.
We will continue to offer Children’s and Youth Ministry meetings and materials online.

After the first 2 weeks:
We will begin to offer two worship times at 9:30 and 11:00 with limited and distanced seating.
We will continue provide virtual worship (Sunday morning / Children’s / Youth).
We will offer a shortened version (45-50 min) of worship at the LCC building.
We will offer an online system of “signing-up” to attend physically with limited and distanced seating.

Other Practices:
We will clean affected areas between services (LCC may need your help providing, Lysol, Lysol wipes, etc).
We will encourage the use of face masks.
We will continue to encourage those with underlying health issues to worship virtually.
We will offer pre-packaged communion to take home.
We will allow individuals to bring their own coffee/snacks, etc.
We will encourage families with young children to worship virtually for 3 months.

Phases 2 & 3 are impossible to determine at this time, therefore staff and elders will discuss the next phase half way through the current phase.

These guidelines are an attempt to make plans in a rapidly changing environment. Therefore, we ask you for your prayer and patience while we seek wisdom from every possible source. In everything that we do we want to honor God and love people.

We will keep you updated on changes as we navigate through all this.
