Guidance for Indoor Worship
May 16, 2021
​
Although vaccination is well underway and COVID cases are declining in our area, the NH UCC has not issued new guidance on indoor worship. Nevertheless, South Church has been testing procedures for distanced, in-person worship, and we hope to open safely on June 6. (See South Church tab below for more details.)

The NH Department of Health & Human Services displays the most recent reported cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, with further demographic detail. For town-level detail use its interactive maps feature.
ActNow uses five indicators (new cases, infection rates, positive test rates, ICU capacity, and contact tracers) to track overall COVID risk, which is categorized into one of four levels from critical to low. Indicators can be displayed over time for both states and counties.
This tool synthesizes reported COVID-19 geographic case data and rapidly evolving scientific research to help you ballpark how much risk this disease poses to you.
The NH United Church of Christ offers resource pages for its churches. The conference minister's guidance for local churches is updated every 4–6 weeks.
The South Church Cabinet has voted to resume in-person worship services on June 6. Those who wish to attend a Sunday service must pre-register online or by phone before noon on Thursday. Masks and distancing are still required indoors regardless of vaccination status.
The church office is open for brief visits on weekday mornings, excluding Fridays — please contact our staff in advance. Proper masking and distancing is required at all times.
