First UMC Sealy is taking the first small steps out of quarantine. With Governor Abbott’s and our County Judge's approval, our sanctuary is open for worship on Sunday mornings, with limitations. If you'd like to come inside the sanctuary, we ask that you you keep several feet away from any other worshipers and practice safe social distancing.
- We will continue our Facebook Live worship at 10 am for those who prefer to worship from a distance.
- On May 31 ... If things continue to remain safe and our visitors remain healthy ... we will hold an 8 am service again! It will not be broadcast.
- Maximum attendance in our sanctuary is limited to 40 individuals at this time.
- Social distancing is still mandated by the Governor and by medical leaders. So those who join us onsite are asked to wash their hands, use hand sanitizer, maintain six feet distances from each other. Family groups are allowed to sit together, but please maintain distances between groups. The six feet distance means that we ask you to keep empty pews between you and people sitting directly in front or behind you. Please be especially aware of distances as you enter and depart from worship. Masks are appropriate but not required.
- There will be no choir. No gathered children’s time. A shorter sermon. An offering will be received, but the offering plates will not be passed.
- We strongly encourage the at-risk population to watch or participate remotely. The at-risk population is defined as “those who are 65 or older, especially those with chronic lung disease; moderate to severe asthma; chronic heart disease; severe obesity; diabetes; chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis; liver disease; or weakened immune system.”
