The following guidelines are requested when attending an in-person service at Laurel Baptist Church during this current phase of the COVID-19 season. 

1. Do not come to church if you are sick, experiencing cold-like symptoms, or have come into contact with someone who has COVID.
2. Please maintain 6 feet social distancing with others (keep your proper distance). 
3. Seating in the auditorium has been adjusted to accommodate social distancing guidelines. Please follow the usher's instructions as they seat you appropriately.
4. Bulletins and other materials will be found in your seat as you arrive. 
5. An offering deposit box is located in the lobby. No offering plates will be passed.

In addition to the above guidelines please note that cleaning crews will wipe down and sanitize the building thoroughly at the conclusion of and prior to each service. 

The following protocols will be followed for our Kids Connection ministry during this phase of COVID-19.

1. All volunteers will have their temperature taken prior to entering, will be wearing face coverings while serving, and will follow strict cleaning processes during and after each service. 
2. Volunteers will be using the check-in system in the place of parents to prevent more than 1 person from using the self check-in screens. 
3. All children will have their temperature taken by a nurse, using a non-contact thermometer, prior to entry into the children's area. Children with a fever will not be permitted entry.
4. Parents who have nursery age children should bring only the necessities to the nursery (diapers, wipes, etc.). Any outside toys will be left inside their bag. 
5. Please use the back entrance only when checking-in your children during this COVID phase.
