Being Church and Being Healthy

Laingsburg UMC Response and Precautions Related to COVID-19 Concerns

Precautions currently in effect

As a church, we believe that encouraging healthy living is a vital part of our ministry, as is providing a healthy place to gather, serve, and worship.  As more and more information is coming to light regarding COVID-19, and as public response recommendations are being made via health officials, Laingsburg UMC wants to remain proactive and in accordance with proper recommendations.  As a church, we will remain committed to taking appropriate and reasonable precautions to keep our congregation and community as safe and healthy as possible. 

• At this point, we have canceled our regular IN-PERSON Sunday morning worship in accordance with our Church Reopening Plan.  There are currently virtual online options for worship, and we would encourage your participation.  Our worship service can be found on Facebook beginning at 10am on Sundays.  Simply go to the Laingsburg UMC Facebook page or to our YouTube Channel to watch and participate.  

• Effective October 1, 2020, small groups of no more than 10 will be permitted to gather in the church Narthex and Fellowship Hall with full mask compliance and social distancing practice. All used surfaces shall be wiped down and sanitized at the conclusion of each gathering. 

• The church office is now open Monday-Thursday from 9:30 am-1:30 pm. For the safety of our staff, please limit the number of your visits and the length of time you spend in the building.

• With the exception of the Laingsburg Food Bank (which will continue to hold regular hours) and AA, renters and community groups who regularly use the building are asked to refrain from holding their events until further notification is given. 

• The Church Leadership Team remains committed to maintaining the safety and well-being of our church members and the community, and will continue to reevaluate our reopening plan at their monthly meetings.
