United Presbyterian Church

COVID-19 Update:

All large group and in-person worship services in the church building have been suspended and session will continually re-assess when worship services may begin again. Small group gatherings may meet at the church beginning June 14th, as they feel comfortable and can follow the guidelines set forth by session.

We continue to have online worship  available on Facebook and via Vimeo at vimeo.com/upctx

We also have available study group and connection opportunities via Zoom.

On the first Sunday of every month, we have begun a parking lot communion service.

Summer Sermon Series: “Virtues of the Christian Life”

 

Current Guidelines for Returning to Church: 

Before your small group or committee returns, contact our office phone number or email to let us know so that we schedule groups appropriately.

Signs will be posted indicating symptoms and urging people to stay home/seek medical attention if they have symptoms or are feeling sick at all.

Wear cloth face masks while at church, as is recommended in public spaces. For anyone who attends without a face covering, we will have disposable ones available.

Maintain appropriate social distancing of 6 feet when possible and, if not possible, continue to wear face mask.

Use no-touch alternatives for Bibles and other books or other frequently touched items. Also consider bringing your own pencil and paper to your small group to minimize risk.

Offer Zoom and other teleconferencing options for those who cannot or do not wish to return to in-person small gatherings.

Sanitize the surfaces touched after your meeting.

No coffee hour or food sharing, such as potlucks.

Building users/renters can resume operations, with a plan to address cleaning needs and agreement to observe gathering and distancing protocols and with due consideration for the church’s specific guidelines.

At this time, no children’s ministries or choir will be available. 

For the time being, office hours will continue remotely. If you’d like to make an appointment to meet during office hours, please email our administrative assistant at [email protected] or call the church office phone number at 903-455-1370
