Moving Forward with Virtual Worship and Return to In-Church Services: What are next steps??<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">• Providing both in-person and virtual worship services: After much discussion, the committee settled on the following pilot approach, adjusted as needed:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">o One in-person service will be offered per month.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">o Timing will be 11:00 a.m. for virtual service, 12:15 p.m. for in-person service.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">o Both services will usually be held in the Sanctuary.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">o Safety protocols will be followed at all times.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">o The Safety Committee (in cooperation with the Membership Committee) will provide Greeters and Ushers to implement those protocols.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">o The in-person service will emphasize participation/interaction of attendees and will be light on incorporation of elements requiring technology.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">o The in-person service will feature Randall Kidder’s live music.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">o The first in-person service will be November 22 for Thanksgiving; the Christmas Eve service will be the in-person service for December.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">• MUSIC: a) A service called Worshipcast that deals with copyright issues for music. The cost per year is $235. One concern is that the covered pieces are primarily from the Christian tradition. b) Another alternative is purchasing rights to use one piece in perpetuity. For example Emma’s Revolution charges $250 for “Peace, Salaam, Shalom.” c) See links sent by Martha McG d) We will consult with Martha Webster about other alternatives.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">• GUIDELINES FOR DESIGNING/PREPARING WORSHIP SERVICE: Martha will prepare a draft and will submit it to Committee members for feedback.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">5.

The Committee decided to ask committees/groups to reflect on how they are, or intend to be, mindful and authentic in cherishing all life and then to be a part of, or to take responsibility for, a worship service on that 2020-2021 theme. The Committee hopes that this approach will deepen insight into the purpose of the committee/group, will increase involvement of members/friends, and will inform the congregation of the activities of the committees/groups.
