PCBC COVID-19 Update     

October 11th  |  4:00 PM

We are excited to be holding a complete public service on Sundays at 10:30 for those who are ready to join us. Our Sunday service is socially distanced and everyone should wear a mask while they are in the building. We will continue to Live Stream services for those who can not join us in person.

​

To show your care for others whom you will be worshipping with, and to best serve the entire church family and community, we ask that everyone who would like to participate follow our Service Attendance Guidelines:

​

• Arrive early (before 10:30)
  This will allow everyone to check in, have their temperature checked and be seated by our ushers in a timely manner. Our seating has been arranged to maximize social distancing in the Worship Center. Please only sit with your family.
   

• Provide COVID-19 protection
  Based on the State of Delaware's guidance for face coverings, we request that everyone wear masks while in the building (ages kindergarten and up). It is vitally important that masks are worn during singing. Please bring your own masks and hand sanitizer for use during the service. We will have masks and hand sanitizer available in the lobby if you forget yours at home.
   

• We plan to host a "contactless service"
  While we are excited to be together, please refrain from personal contact with those outside of your immediate family while on church property (no handshaking or hugging). Everyone practicing social distancing while on campus is necessary to help ensure there is no virus transmission.

​

This will certainly be a new experience for us! Let's be patient and gracious with each other as we adapt to this season. Be praying for God to use this time to make us more like Jesus, and to bring many people to a deeper trust in Him.
