UPUMC In-person Worship Information

 

We are grateful to worship together in-person each Sunday at 11:00am. Below is important information regarding the precautions and protocols we have implemented to provide a safe worship experience for everyone. On demand worship is also available beginning at 7:00am here>.

WORSHIP SERVICE TIMES

11:00 - 11:45am in Sanctuary

 

To maintain the health and safety of our congregation, we ask you to do the following while on campus and during the entirety of the worship service:

  • All persons age two years of age and older are required to wear a face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
  • Maintain six feet of distance between you and those around you.
  • Do not enter the campus if you feel unwell or have any symptoms of COVID-19 or the flu.
  • Wait for an usher to seat you and dismiss your pew.

 

In order to provide adequate spacing in our sanctuary, we are requesting that attendees complete an RSVP. This is not a requirement, and does not reserve a pew, but will assist us in planning for each service. You may also leave your RSVP at 214-368-1435 ext. 116. Thank you in advance for completing the three questions below.
