While we are in a period of "Social Distancing," we want to keep our "Socializing" alive and well so all worship services are shared via LIVE-STREAM on the Facebook Group page each Sunday.
The recorded worship services, when made available, are also shared here on YouTube at
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU3YVLAkee-0_Aq22XqX8eQ?view_as=subscriber
and can be accessed with a simple click anytime you'd like to "visit."
Children's Church (Sunday School) videos are posted on the Children's Ministry Page: https://fccsilverton.com/childrens-ministry
Because we celebrate Open Communion each Sunday, if you are worshiping with us online, we invite you to have whatever elements you chose to partake of with us at hand for Communion.
Peace - Shalom

COVID-19 NEWS
July 28, 2020 UPDATE
Beginning July 24 new guidelines for face coverings are as follows:
- Face coverings will be mandatory for individuals 5 years of age and older for all indoor faith gatherings and outdoors when 6 feet of physical distancing cannot be maintained.
- All individuals attending indoor gatherings now need to wear face coverings (mask or face shield) at all times, even when teaching, preaching or singing. The only exemption is for someone playing an instrument requiring mouth to instrument contact.
Updated Gathering limits for Phase 2 Counties:
- Services at an indoor venue = 100 people (including staff & volunteers)
- Services at an outdoor venue = 250 people (including staff and volunteers)
- Physical distancing of 6 feet between households must be maintained.
We will continue to follow the executive orders set out by Governor Brown for strict social distancing and sanitizing protocols.
In order to maintain the required social distancing and contact tracing rules, we will continue asking that anyone wishing to attend worship service MUST:
1. Contact the church by email or phone by 10:00 a.m. Thursday to sign up to attend that Sunday’s service. You will be added to the list and assigned a seat number. 2. You must provide the names of everyone in your group who will be attending.
We will continue to live-stream our church services if you are not able or prefer not to attend in person,
The sanctuary will accommodate up to 70 people, depending on family sizes, and any overflow will be seated in the multi-purpose room. But, as you all are aware, everything is subject to change and we will continue to keep you informed by email and on our Facebook page at “Silverton FCC Church Family.”
