Contact
There should be no shaking hands, or hugging unless you are family members.
I know this is a hard one but we must be sure to lean on the Holy Spirit and allow Him to guide our actions. For every one person that is “over” COVID, there is one that continues to be apprehensive so we must be mindful and sensitive to that

TITHE/OFFERINGS
We will have 2 tables with baskets at the back during service as well as 2 baskets on stage
Please deposit your offering as you come in or as you leave
We ask that there be no congregating in the lobby after the service
We understand that these guidelines will not please everyone, but under the present circumstances, we ask that you please take into consideration the needs of others. There are brothers and sisters among us that are more vulnerable to this virus, therefore, out of love, we will put their best interest before our own.
These safety measures have not been created out of fear but out of love and concern for the wellbeing of the whole family
As always, Live Stream of service will be available via FB Live, YouTube Live, and at VIVEchurch.com for those who may not yet be comfortable attending the service
We understand that due to the type of church family that we are, it's going to be a struggle to refrain from hugging but the biggest demonstration of love that we can practice during these times is to let those who are struggling with being in a building know that they matter and that we are putting their best interest first.
We trust that we will all do our part as we move forward. We are trusting that we will all follow these instructions.
We Look forward to seeing your face and worshipping alongside you in our HOME! Albeit 6 feet away LOL
