Indoor Services Guidelines

Please plan to arrive 15 minutes before service to allow sufficient time to get everyone seated.  The current situation requires extra attention to detail as we enter the building: checking for masks, social distancing and seating, checking, temperature, observance of the guidelines, etc.

Here are the guidelines we will have in place (please read all of them carefully):
• Use of face coverings will be required while it continues to be a requirement in California and/or Los Angeles County.
• Physical distancing of 6 feet with no handshaking or hugging others.  For seating, we will take out every other row in the sanctuary and we will ask people to sit three empty chairs away from the next person (or family).
• We will have touchless hand sanitizer dispensers at entrances and other contact areas.
• We will have three tithe/offering boxes in the sanctuary to deposit your contribution before or after the service.
• We will have our main entrance by the parking lot available for entry only and then have an exit only area on the south side of the building (at the end of the hallways that run north and south).
• We will not have coffee or baked goods available.
• We will not have Sunday children’s or youth programs for the foreseeable future.  All family members will be asked to sit together in the service.
• We ask that everyone who is sick and/or vulnerable stay home.
• We will be thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting our meeting areas before and after every service.  We will ask people not to linger in the building so that we can get that done.
• We encourage people to check their temperature, wash their hands, and use the restroom at home before attending the service.
• Our service is limited to 25% of our sanctuary capacity.  Only people who have registered will be able to join our time of worship to make sure we are compliant with our maximum occupation limit.  To register for the service, visit: vvinfo.org/rsvp.  Unfortunately, for the foreseeable future we have to register every week.
• Plan on arriving by 10:45 AM.   We will begin the service at 11 AM sharp since we will be broadcasting live on YouTube, Facebook, and through our church app.

It’s also important to be aware that because this is a fluid situation, we may be required to make last minute changes or even cancel in the event that someone in our community is infected with the virus or if the number of covid cases and hospitalizations in L.A. county trend toward critical conditions. We will make every effort to inform you of any changes as soon as possible.
