Hello MagPres family!
We are excited to let you know that beginning on Easter (April 4th) at 10am outside under the MacQuarrie oak, we will be worshipping together and celebrating our risen Lord. Because of the Covid guidelines, our commitment is to keep everyone as safe as possible; and to allow everyone who wishes to worship in person the ability to do so. Due to the size of our sanctuary, it is not feasible for us to worship indoors for now. We will also Livestream and record the service if you prefer to worship with us at home. In addition, we will be celebrating Communion together and you may bring your own elements or we will provide a self-contained Communion packet.
Other considerations:

• Bring flowers for flowering of the cross!
  
• Bring your own chair or cushion: we will provide a metal chair if you prefer.
  
• We can sing! As long as we are distanced and wearing masks.
  
• Masks and social distancing are necessary at this time. Extra masks and hand sanitizer
  stations and will be available.
  
• Arrive early; we will have a sign in, waiver, and temperature check station on arrival.
  
• Restrooms will be available one family at a time.
  
• Unfortunately, we aren’t able to serve coffee or snacks yet.
  
• Please dress warm! We will be in the shade. In case of rain the service will be Livestream
  and recorded from inside the Worship Center with worship staff and Pastors only.
  
• Families are invited to sit together including children as the nursery, Sunday school, and
  playground aren’t open yet.
  
• Please leave the small parking lot in front of and behind the office available for our
  differently abled congregants and visitors.
  
• Let us know you are coming at Magpres.com/Easter or email church office at
  [email protected] for planning purposes.
  Whew! We know this is a lot of information but we are committed to making this time together safe and meaningful and are excited to worship with you this Easter and moving forward. May God continue to bless you and our church at this time.
  Sincerely,
  Your Session and your Pastors, Claire and Paul
