I'd like to call this week's devo "Frequently Asked Questions"... but we know you're likely not sitting around thinking about how Sunday is going to work as we go back to in-person and add a second service - yet. So consider this a preemptive FAQs as you get closer to the weekend and plan how you are going to connect and train with your Freedom family so that you can be ready to impact your world for Christ in the coming week.
What's happening this Sunday?
With the opportunity to gather with 15% capacity and the desire to worship together with as many people as we can in person, we are having TWO services on Sunday morning: 9:30 & 11:00
Each service will be able to have up to 45 people in the sanctuary, plus there will be 15 children able to attend Kids Church in each service.
What about OFF Campus? Will you still livestream the service?
Absolutely. We know that not everyone is able to return to in-person gatherings just yet so our 9:30 service will be livestreamed to FB Live and hosted by a member of our team. We'll still be including OFF Campus in all of our service interactions and we are still encouraging everyone to share the livestream with friends, families and co-workers, knowing that this is going to continue to be a great way to be introduced to the gospel and our church family.
Is Kids Church still happening online?
Yes but with a big change... it will be LIVESTREAMED for the first time! All OFF Campus kids can tune into LIVE Kids Church at 11:00 in the Freedom Kids Facebook Group and join in with what our kids are doing during service. Cool, right?!
What kinds of rules and things will be in place?
If you've been to an in-person service in the last year, things will pretty much be the same:
masks are mandatory (due to provincial and regional regulations)
social distancing is maintained
entrances and exits are clearly marked for good traffic flow
surfaces are frequently cleaned and sanitized
Do I need to register for church?
Yes indeed. Registering does two things for us: it ensures that we don't exceed our 15% capacity and it gives us a record of who was in the building in the event that contact tracing is necessary for Public Health. These records are confidential and are only kept for a couple of weeks and then deleted.
Did we forget anything?
Contact us at any time and we'll do our best to get back to you very shortly. Email any of the staff (addresses on our website) or DM us on social media!
Church, I love to be together with you. I want to see your faces if possible and if it's not possible, I want to read your comments and see your engagement with one another. However you can, join us on Sunday morning and bring someone with you - in person or online.
Connecting and training to make an impact with you,
Pastor Tracy
