Embrace UCC will be hosting “Online Worship” only

March 15 and March 22.  We encourage you to stay home and sign on to our Facebook live

feed a few minutes before 10:00am.  We will stream the full service and invite you to participate online.

 

We will invite you to interact with singing, typing your prayer requests, communion and clicking the donate button for

offering time!  Have some crackers or bread and juice and we will consecrate your elements during communion.

​

Facebook account holders – go to EmbraceUCC page and view the live feed beginning at 10am

 

If you aren’t on Facebook – you can find us by opening your search engine – type in  facebook.com/embraceucc

and it will take you to our Facebook page – you may need to scroll down to the video that says “live video” and

click on it to start listening.   

We will sign on a few minutes early so everyone can get settled in and ready to start at 10am

 

FYI When you sign on from a search engine – make sure there is no space between embraceucc or it will take you

to embrace Facebook page –which is not us!!!

 

We look forward to this opportunity of finding creative ways to stay connected and be the community

during a time where we need to do our part in keeping this virus from spreading.

​

A big thanks to Amy, Lori, Tomas, Robert, John and Melissa for helping with our service on Sunday and

making it possible to stream it to each of you at home.

Embrace Plan and Response to Corona Virus and precautions for everyone
At this time we will hold Sunday Worship and limits other meetings until further notice.  Watch your emails and the Embrace UCC Facebook page for changes as they happen.
 

Precautions for the COVID-19 Virus being taken at Embrace UCC
We will limit face to face meetings to Sunday Worship and implement the follow:
 

• Elbow and Ankle Bumps replace Handshakes and Hugs

• Waves, Smiles and Peace Signs work too!

• Refrain from contact, wash hands, use hand sanitizers; scrub down all surfaces regularly

• Communion – Wafer will be dropped into your hand. We will use disposable cups for the wine/juice rather than intinction.

• Prayer requests will be taken verbally - and not on written prayer cards​​​​​​​

• Collection Plate – ushers will carry it to everyone rather than passing the basket

• Attendance will be recorded by Di– we will not pass the attendance pads

 

• Will stream full service on Facebook and invite those who wish to reduce their risk to view and participate from home. Watch Parties are encouraged!

 

• Stay home if you have a cough, sneezing or don’t feel well

 

• Watch our Facebook page and church emails for updates on events

Please keep Naomy, Sharon, Karen, Robert, Annee in prayer as our health care professional members provide services to a frightened and anxiety filled community.
