The First Presbyterian Church of Sidney

God calls us to be a welcoming community of faith, striving to follow the Word of God through worship, prayer, study, and ministry to all.
Welcome! Our regular worship services have resumed.

Here are a few things to know about worship as we strive to keep everyone safe & healthy!

*There will be no passing of the peace.
*Offering plates will be at each entrance, and when that time comes, you can go drop your envelope in the nearest receptacle.
*Worshippers can sit in family groups, but available pews are marked to comply with social distancing rules.
*There will be no nursery available, so please bring something to occupy your children. Services will be kept shorter to help your sanity!
*Masks are optional, but preferred during singing. I will preach from on the pulpit and serve as liturgist as well so no microphones will be shared.
*Science has proven that the virus can survive on surfaces up to 3 days; therefore, pew Bibles and hymnals can be used, since we touch them only once a week.
*On communion Sundays, there will be two stations where you may come and take a pre-filled wafer/juice combination cup (remaining socially distant), return to your pews, and we will open them and partake of the elements together.

These changes have been incorporated for our protection as we avoid becoming sick; but we get to be together once again, joyfully praising the Lord who loves our worship and is mightier than any virus!
In Christ's Peace,
