Notice: Regathering Date and Guidelines:
Dear Halls Westside Baptist Church family,
The Halls Westside Deacons met on May 21, 2020, to discuss how we as a Church should go forward with the current situation involving the COVID 19 Virus. We understand everyone’s desire to get back to worshiping and fellowshipping together as a Church Family. We too are ready, but with some of our congregation being at greater risk if they contract the virus, we must abide by certain guidelines to ensure everyone’s safety. We, as a Church Family, must consider the health and safety of our members first. We have set a tentative date to open May 31, 2020. The Deacons will be monitoring the situation and this date may change. Thank you for your help and continued support during these trying times.
Guidelines for Sunday Worship at Halls Westside Baptist Church
1. We will meet in the Church for worship at 11 a.m. Seating will be distanced. We will phase Sunday School and Wednesday night services back in later.
2. Hand sanitizer will be provided and located on a table as you enter the Church. There are also hand sanitizer dispensers located in various high traffic areas of the building. You are encouraged to bring & wear your facemask during the morning service. If you forget your facemask or do not have one, we will have extras available on the table as you enter.
3. Please, always observe social distancing when possible (6 foot).
4. Please, sit with your family – you will be seated by ushers when you enter sanctuary
5. Restroom’s will be open, but we ask that only one person at a time enter unless you are assisting your child.
6. Offering plate will not be passed by the Ushers (offering plates will be located at the exits at the end of the service).
7. We will dismiss by rows from ushers at the end of the service.
8. We ask that you stay home if you are sick (with anything), are immune compromised, or have been exposed to COVID 19.

Other points to note:
• The Church will be cleaned completely before and after each service.
• Remember: We will not be shaking hands or hugging our friends and family.
• You might not feel comfortable meeting with the entire church in the building yet. If so, we will still provide Facebook live.
