Reopening to Groups of 10 or Less
gUIDELINES BEGINNING MAY 30
Imago has decided that the individuals or groups less than 10 may begin meeting in the building on May 30th as Illinois enters into Phase 3. The state’s guidelines permit gatherings of no more than 10 during Phases 2 and 3 and no more than 50 during Phase 4. However, certain practices should be observed in Phases 2-4, regardless of the number of people assembled.
They are as follows
No live singing is allowed – congregational, choir, or solo. You can continue to use recorded music and instruments, except for wind instruments.
No childcare or children’s classes can be provided.
Maintain at least 6 feet between all persons who do not live in the same household. Avoid hand-shaking and hugging.
Wear facial coverings (e.g. masks, bandanas, scarfs). We will not be providing these. If someone is unwilling to wear a mask they will not allowed to enter the building for other's protection and per our policy.
No food or beverages are allowed, including shared coffee stations or water fountains. Consuming food and beverages would require you to remove your mask, thus putting others at risk.
Maintain good personal hygiene including hand washing, sanitizing, and not touching your face. Used tissues should be thrown in the trash and hands washed.
Any individuals displaying symptoms of COVID-19 as well as people who have had close contact with a person who has symptoms of COVID-19 refrain from participating in any aspect of in-person gatherings in the church building.
We will provide disinfectant supplies for each room that is to be used by the group using the building to sanitize the surfaces and doorknobs of the space you occupied. We will also have a weekly cleaning of the whole building.
We will also provide hand sanitizer, tissues, and wastebaskets in each room and we encourage everyone using the space to utilize these resources.
We encourage you to increase the circulation of outdoor air as much as possible by opening windows. We ask that folks avoid propping the doors open for security purposes.
If smoking outside, please observe a 10 foot social distance from others around you and avoid smoking near doors and windows.
Meeting outside on the property is permitted as long as you respect the social distance guidelines.
For groups that are less than 20, you will be permitted to meet in the building if you:
Break the group into two separate groups on opposite sides of the building and the groups don’t intermingle inside the building at all.
Utilize separate entrances and restrooms on opposite sides of the building.
