Below is a list of required conduct/actions as we return to worship and shared building
space. You will notice most of them are prohibitions. We did too. What we desire in
addition, is: Listen to the word of the Lord. Pray. Cherish our time together. Encourage
happiness. Try to be flexible as the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church community works
through this pandemic. And most important, let's follow Dr. Henry's lead: "Be kind, be
calm, and be safe."

The following measures must be in place at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church (GDLC)

1. Gatherings of 50 or more people are not permitted.
2. Signage advising and educating on COVID-19 wellness, hygiene, and social distancing
measures should be in place around the facility.

group size are broken.
