Spiritual Oneness During Physical Separation
Socially Distant, But Not Separated from God’s Love
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. –– Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)
Transition From Virtual Connection to In-Person Experiences
As stay-at-home orders expire and we begin the process of re-opening our doors, we’re committed to honoring the guidelines put in place by our federal, state and local governments, while gradually providing more interactive experiences for our church family.
Sundays
What sanitation and personal protection practices are in place?
- For your health and safety, we will thoroughly sanitize the building’s surfaces and seats before and after each service.
- Our staff and volunteers will be wearing face masks.
- In light of the recent executive order by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, as a church, we do not have to require our congregation to wear face masks, but we encourage you to prayerfully consider wearing one as an extra protection for your EMIC family.
- We’ve moved to a two-service format (9 a.m. and 11 a.m.) to accommodate a modified seating arrangement that allows families and individuals to practice social distancing.
- We ask that everyone maintain the proper six-foot distance from others while on the property.
- Members of our staff and volunteer team who come in direct contact with people will wear masks.
- Offering envelopes will be self-serve from the seat in front of you. If you’re on the front row, an usher wearing gloves will hand you an envelope. You can drop your offering in a basket on your way out. As always, you’re welcome to give online at emic.org/give or text “EMIC” and the dollar amount to 36609.
What if both services fill to capacity, and I still want to attend in-person?
- Because we still want to you come to church, we will have overflow areas in the building where you can enjoy the service while still observing the social distancing guidelines.
How do I find a seat?
- Our usher team will assist families and individuals in finding seats as they enter the sanctuary.
- If you seat yourself, please make sure there are at least two seats between you and the family next to you.
How early may I arrive?
- To allow smooth traffic flow, and to minimize the number of people in the building together, we kindly ask that you arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before your chosen service begins.
Will children and youth still have services?
- For now, children’s and youth programming will continue virtually on Facebook and emic.org/virtualchurch.
- Our 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services will be all-family services, so please plan to bring your children into the sanctuary with you.
Will the Passage Coffee Shop and WordWorks Bookstore be open?
- At this time, WordWorks Bookstore will be open, allowing a maximum of 10 people inside. The Passage will be open as well!
When will Wednesday services, groups and other activities resume?
- We monitor state, local and federal policies daily, and we will communicate to you as soon as we believe it’s safe to take the next step toward a complete re-opening. We look forward to that day, very soon, when our services, groups and events will be unrestricted!
What if I’m experiencing symptoms, or I’m not ready to assemble in a large group?
- Both services will be streamed live! Here are the ways you can still be a part:
