Welcome Back to Onsite Worship!

Our hybrid worship model is intended to provide the best possible engagement with our service for two communities, those who are onsite and those who are online. Some of what we share will be particularly relevant for those who are in person, and some will be more relevant for new worshippers on zoom or Facebook. Our plan is to provide a meaningful service for all. To facilitate this, help us by adopting a gracious spirit for worship, whichever way you are able to participate.

Guided by CDC recommendations, because of the number of people gathering on Sunday mornings, and without checking vaccination status of participants, the session has implemented a few ongoing Covid protocols. If you are joining us in person, prepare yourself for things to be a little bit different. Here’s some of what to expect:

• Following recent changes to CDC Mask Guidance, we will be tracking local Community Levels and adjusting our mask mandate accordingly. When both Johnson County Kansas and Jackson County Missouri are in the Green/Low category of community spread, Masks will be optional. If either county is in the Yellow or Red level, masks will be required on Sunday mornings for everyone when in the building. The only exceptions will be for worship leaders when they are leading their parts. We have some extra one-use surgical style masks available when you arrive if you need one. Cloth masks are good; kn-95 or surgical masks are even better. Please see above for this Sunday’s current Community Level and masking requirement (if any).
• Participate in worship as you feel comfortable. Words of prayers and common responses will be projected on the screens in the sanctuary. We will have a limited number of printed bulletins available for pick up as you enter. Hearing assist devices are also available.
• We will not be passing around offering plates. There will be a table in the narthex where you can leave an offering before or after the service, and we will have a moment of thanksgiving in the service to dedicate your gifts. You can also continue to give online at www.kckirk.org (check the footer at the bottom for the donate button). Thank you for your generous and ongoing support of The Kirk, including your financial gifts.
• Share your Prayer Requests when entering the sanctuary. Look for the special table where you can submit prayer requests for Sunday Morning Prayers. These will be included in our morning prayers along with the prayers shared on the chat feed by online participants.
• If we are requiring masks this Sunday, Coffee Hour and Fellowship time will be outdoors on our patio immediately after worship, weather permitting. If masks are optional, fellowship time may be indoors.
• Infant/toddler childcare is available. We welcome back Miss Lateefah, one of the teachers at Alpha Montessori, to our nursery.
• We’re excited to see you again! Help us maintain good hospitality by asking before shaking hands or getting close…not everyone will be fully vaccinated and everyone will appreciate checking how comfortable they are before you get up close.
