In-Person Worship
COS is currently offering three in-person weekly services:
-
7:45am a spoken Prayerbook Service
-
9:00am a Traditional Service with a Contemporary Beat (this service is also live-streamed)
-
10:45am a Traditional Service with more Traditional Music (this service is also live-streamed)
We are no longer requiring online reservations.
Considerations for In-Person Worship:
-
Masks will be encouraged, but not required for those attending in-person worship and other in-person programs and events at COS throughout the week. Masks will still be available at Sunday services for those who may need one.
-
Please join us virtually you have any flu-like or COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days or is you are unable to be fully vaccinated or have an underlying medical condition.
-
The Offering will be collected in a box at the back of the center aisle or you can make a contribution online.
-
At the distribution of Communion, we ask that you please use the spray sanitizer provided in the pews prior to receiving the Host. Instructions will be given on how Communion will be shared at the service.
-
Communion will be distributed in one-kind only, with the reminder that to receive in one-kind is to receive the fullness of the Sacrament. The wine in the Chalice will be consumed by the Celebrant only.
-
If a worshiper desires a blessing instead of Communion, the blessing will be offered verbally only.
-
Preachers, presiders, and lectors may remove their masks when reading in the chancel, unless there are standing at the altar with the communion elements present.
-
Communion may be offered around the altar for the 9:00am service and at the Communion railing for the 7:45am and 10:45am services. If you prefer more distance, you may stand to the outside of the railings.
-
Coffee hours follow the 9:00am and 10:45am services.
-
Greeting one another with hugs and handshakes may resume, but we please be mindful of varied comfort levels among those in our community and check in before offering a hug or a handshake.
If you have any questions, please contact the office.
