Welcome Back
Sunday July 12th, we will be back in the Sanctuary for services at 8:45 and 10:30. As we begin our journey back to having services inside our Sanctuary we must strive to follow CDC and State of Maryland guidelines and requirements. The following is a listing of procedures and requirements to which we all must adhere to assure the health and safety of all who will be attending the indoor service:

• Before you come to church assure that you feel well and, if possible, take your temperature to assure that you are in good health.  Do not come if you have any virus symptoms.
• Park in the front parking lot only as there is to be no entrance through the back side of the church.
• Maryland requires the wearing of face masks.  We are asking that you wear a mask on entering, leaving, and any time you leave your seat.  If you must remove your mask, please do so only while seated during service.
• We must social distance and attempt to maintain at least 6’ apart.  Please sit in pews that are open and social distance amongst yourselves. This should be at all times, entering, during service, and leaving.  Hugging, handshaking and personal contact is not recommended.
• Everyone will enter through the main center entrance doors to the Sanctuary.  Leaving the service will be by the side doors in the Sanctuary, and leaving the foyer will be by the side entrance/exit doors. Deacons will be directing you on where you are to enter/exit.
• There will be a nursery for up to 4 year olds only at the 10:30 service for Sunday July 12th.  We are hoping to have staff for providing nursery for both services beginning the following week.  You will be escorted to the nursery rooms upon entrance to the church.  Please take all older children to the sanctuary with you. 
• All children going to nursery and the parent dropping the child(ren) will have their temperature taken.
• We are fortunate to have the electronic systems that allow us to watch our services online.  It has been a lifeline for many of our families to watch every week.  If you have any hesitancies or concerns about catching the virus if you were to attend services in person, please use these electronic systems and watch from home.  Make your health be your first consideration. 

The church cleaning staff assures that the building is cleaned in accordance with CDC guidelines.  Your following these procedures and guidelines will assist us in assuring the healthiest environment possible.  Please refrain from going to any other areas of our church building.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and a big WELCOME BACK HOME.

We know that everyone has a story.  What's your story?  The beauty of the gospel is that no matter what your life's story is, Jesus has come to redeem it and give it another ending.  That's why we proclaim that we can not stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.

We exist to honor and glorify God by focusing our energies on reaching out to our community, teaching the love and truth of the Bible, and sending as many as we can out into the world with the good news of forgiveness and life through Jesus Christ.

Here at Pleasant View Baptist Church it truly is like coming home, whether you are just visiting or have been a member for many years!
