In Person Worship Services Guidelines

FBC will offer members and guests a choice of two worship services to attend.  An outdoor service will begin at 8:30 am and an indoor service will begin at 11:00 am.  The following guidelines will be followed for each service. 

Outdoor Worship Service – 8:30 am (3/08/2021)

  • The service will take place on the grassy area between the Fellowship Hall and Horner Boulevard.
  • No seating will be available, so members should bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on.
  • Members will be expected to sit as family groups and to be considerate of others by appropriately social distancing when setting up chairs and blankets.  Ushers will be available to help members with social distancing.
  • Facial masks will not be required for this outdoor service, but are optional.  If you do not have a mask of your own, we will have some available.

  • Offering plates will not be passed, but will be available on a table for members to drop in their own offering envelopes.
  • Nursery will be provided for children.
  • Restrooms will be available.  Please see an usher for directions.

Indoor Worship Service – 11:00 am (3/08/2021)
