First Christian Church, Kendallville

Update from the Elders and Staff

After prayerful consideration and evaluating the current status of the Covid-19 vaccine's increasing availability, and keeping in mind that Indiana Gov. Holcomb has stated that churches and religious gatherings remain exempt from restrictions, the Leadership Team of First Christian has moved to a "Masks recommended, but not required" status. 

1. Also, available seating in the main sanctuary has been arranged to accommodate social distancing; therefore all rows of seating are now open. 
   
2. As well, communion and offering plates are not passed through the congregation; instead, offering elements continue to be available to attendees at the sanctuary entrance, as well as offering-receiving containers at those same entrance areas. 
   
3. Post-service coffee and refreshments are not being served at this time. 
   
4. Disinfecting of the sanctuary and facility continues on a regular basis. 
   
5. Face masks and hand sanitizers are readily available throughout the building.
