Covid Protocol (Adopted by Council on Wednesday, August 25th, 2021; UPDATED March 16th, 2022)
[Based on numbers from WMUR "Town-by-Town"]
Based on the total Concord population of approximately 44,000 residents, here is the First Church protocol for worship starting on September 12, 2021:
Here are the guidelines we will be following for in-person worship:
- If there are 1-440 active cases in Concord - there will be an option for in-person worship with masks optional for everyone who is vaccinated.
- If there are 441 or more active cases in Concord - worship will ONLY be online (at that point more than 1% of the population of Concord has Covid).
Here are the guidelines we will be following for in-person worship:
- Gentle congregational singing, with masks and social distancing
- Contact tracing every week
- Every other pew is taped off to maintain 6ft distances
- Offering plates will remain stationary on pedestals
