1. In-Person Gatherings Guidelines – Starting MAR 1, NRAC has revised in-person worship service guidelines to the following:

1. If you have contracted COVID, recovered, have no symptoms, and have tested negative (using rapid antigen tests) every day for at least three consecutive days, you may attend in-person church service.
2. If anyone in your household contracts COVID or if you have been exposed to COVID, have no symptoms, and have tested negative (using rapid antigen tests) every day for at least three consecutive days, you may attend in-person church service.
3. Mask wearing is recommended within the church premises.
4. Socially distanced seating is recommended.

Please exit the sanctuary and parking lot immediately after service so that parking spaces can be freed up for the children and families of the next worship service.

• SUN, JUN 25 @4:00PM (English)
