In the month of September, we will share short weekday worship services with contact-free communion in the DuPre Garden at FPC.

First Watch services will be led by one of our pastors on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 7:30-8:00 a.m. (We will not gather on Labor Day, September 7). First Watch services will include communion with individually packaged and sealed communion sets. To join these worship gatherings:  

• Reservations are required for participation. A reservation link will be included in the Friday e-blast for services the following week. Participants will also be required to complete an online waiver in order to come on campus.

• The maximum capacity for each service is 15 individuals. Chairs in the garden will be six feet apart, with members of the same household seated together in a grouping. When making a reservation for a household, please list every participant’s name so that we can maintain social distancing within the garden’s capacity.

• To allow more of our church family to participate, we ask that each individual/household sign up for only one service per week.

• The pastor leading each service will welcome participants in the Smith lobby from 7:15-7:25 a.m.

• Masks must be worn at all times (ages 5 and up) while on campus and in the garden. Masks can be taken down when consuming communion elements. 

• There will not be printed bulletins, but an order of  service will be emailed to participants before each service.

• If it is raining just before a scheduled service, we will not have that service and participants should register for another worship gathering.
