In-Person Worship
Protocols for Worship. Please be sure the ushers check your name on the attendance roster before you enter the sanctuary. Designated seating with a separate entrance through the east door is provided for those who desire extra precaution, and face masks will be required to be worn in that area throughout the service. Wherever you sit, you are encouraged to be gracious to your neighbors and keep comfortable distancing between households. Please continue to care for the well-being of our whole community and join us online if you are feeling unwell.
Children in Worship. We are happy to invite children into worship. If you are bringing children with you to church, please be sure that their names, as well as yours, are recorded on our sign-in sheet. There is a Pray-ground in the front of the sanctuary (northeast corner) for our youngest worshipers and their adults, where anyone can color, read, or play quietly during the service. There are also rocking chairs for soothing our smallest worshipers. A children's message will be offered during worship and Pastor Naomi will meet anyone interested in gathering during that time at the Pray-ground.
Live-streaming and Recording. Please be advised, when you enter a Lutheran Church of the Foothills worship service you will be entering an area where photography, video and audio recording may occur. As such, there is no way to guarantee that your image will not appear or that your voice will not be heard.
