Welcome to our “connect” page. Here you will find our “one-stop” location of resources to help you get connected within NEPC . During this unusual time of social-distancing, we are connecting with our congregation digitally in some very practical and creative ways. Scroll through this page to see all that is available for you.
The best, and most important, way to stay connected is to sign up for our Midweek Email. We send it out each week on Wednesday afternoons.
NEPC COVID-19 GUIDELINES
We’re excited to be back worshiping live in the Sanctuary. Our Worship Service is at 9:30 AM. While we look forward to seeing everyone, we want to emphasize that we’re taking special precautions to reopen safely. Here’s what you can expect.
We will be cleaning and disinfecting the church between services. We will be vigilant about cleaning and wiping down common spaces and touchpoints. Please allow patience and grace as we maneuver this very different experience. During phase 2 we will have the Sanctuary, restrooms, nursery, NEPC Kids area, and some Sunday School classes open. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the church.
We will have ONE service at 9:30AM. Online registration for in-person worship will begin on Sundays and will close when registration reaches capacity or on Thursdays at 2:00 PM. You can sign up for those services by visiting the NEPC Website Homepage, the CONNECT PAGE, or the WELCOME BACK PAGE of our website.
We ask that you arrive 20 minutes early to help maintain safe distances and avoid overcrowding before the service starts. Check-in stations will be outside of the main sanctuary door and the side door of the Narthex. Once checked in, you will enter the Sanctuary through the Narthex doors only. Your seat will be based on availability from front to back in the Sanctuary. Ushers will direct you to your seats to allow for social distancing. Please comply with this.
- Your household unit will be seated 6 feet from other household units to ensure social distancing.
- Avoid physical contact like handshaking and hugging. Waves are awesome!
- If you have a child(ren) that are infants-4-year-olds, our NEPC church nursery is open. You may park in the rear of the church near the playground and enter and check-in there to drop off your nursery child and then head to the Sanctuary.
- Masks are REQUIRED for in-person worship services for everyone over 2 years old. Although we encourage you to bring your own mask, masks will be available for children and adults who do not have one or forgot to bring theirs.
- Ushers will be at the doors in the back with baskets to drop your offerings in before and after service. We encourage you to utilize ONLINE GIVING if possible.
- At the end of the worship service, you’ll be dismissed by the pastor.
We understand that some of you won’t feel comfortable returning to church worship services just yet, and respect your decision. Please join us by watching the service online via Livestream by visiting the WEBSITE HOME PAGE, the CONNECT PAGE or the WELCOME BACK PAGE on Sundays at 9:30AM. You will find a LIVESTREAM BUTTON on each of these pages.
The CDC recommends that those who are (or are living with someone) under quarantine, not feeling well, or have underlying health conditions, do not attend service. Please consider your health and that of others.
Accessing LIVESTREAM Worship Services
Each Sunday morning at 9:30 AM you can tune in to a Livestream Worship Service. This is a real-time live video of the in-person 9:30 AM worship service at NEPC. The worship service typically lasts approximately 60-70 minutes. The pre-service chat opens at 9:20 AM. If you can not be present for the Livestream at 9:30 AM or are a bit late for online service, you can watch via the NEPC YouTube Channel once the service recording has been uploaded. We aim for having the sermon uploaded by noon on Sundays.
