Sunday Mornings
We are worshipping in person on Sunday mornings, but we are limiting attendance to 55 households per Sunday. We have established 55 seating zones in our sanctuary, and one household is seated in each zone, whether that household is a single person or a family of six.
Every week we send an email invitation to our regulars asking them to pre-register for the service. One week those with last names A-L are invited, and the following week those with last names M-Z are invited. We set aside space every week for guests, so if you would like to worship with us in person, we would love to welcome you. Please call the church office at (616) 245-9257 or email our Office Manager at cbulthuis@fifthrc.org to pre-register.
We are offering Walk Out Worship (W.O.W.) for children PreK-5th. Before the sermon, those PreK through 5th grade are invited to have in-person Fifth Kids Worship in a separate worship space. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer childcare during this season. Both our nurseries and our regular Fifth Kids program remain closed or adapted until we can offer those safely.
Masks are required in the building, and we request that you self-monitor with regard to appropriate physical distancing. If you are feeling ill in any way, we ask you to postpone worshipping with us until you feel well.
When you arrive, you will see a line of dots on the floor leading to our check in desk. Please follow the dots to the welcome desk, and folks from our Hospitality Team will greet you and ensure we have your contact information in case there is need for contact tracing. After that an usher will show you to your seat. We have table seating available for families with children along with activity packs for the kids.
These are challenging times, and we would like to connect with you. Even if you are not comfortable worshipping in person, we would still like to connect. Our staff and congregation stand ready to serve you in any way we can.
Wednesday Nights
The only midweek programming happening now is our GEMS and K-Quest programs for elementary age girls and boys. For more detailed information, contact our Children’s Ministries Director, Lindsey Lugo.
The Rest of the Week
The church building is open to use in a limited way. We have four primary spaces that are open to use by small groups. These spaces need to be reserved in advance, and we have some basic protocols everyone needs to follow. For more detailed information on room use, contact our Office Manager, Char Bulthuis.
