COVID-19 Fall PLAN

PHASE 1 - AS OF OCTOBER 1

SUNDAY GATHERINGS

Our Sunday gatherings will continue to be announced weekly during the month of October as we are still in Phase 1. During build a safe and strong Oregon, our Sunday gatherings will be offered in these environments:

  1. Streamed online weekly with the two primary elements being worship through song and a video message. Our gathering will stream at 10am here or on our Facebook page.

  2. In-Person, in groups: We are encouraging those who are ready and comfortable to gather in small groups for Sunday worship outdoors or in homes. Groups can worship together while viewing the weekly Sunday gathering video and spend time reflecting, responding, and ministering to one another.

  3. In-Person, at our building: We will be holding in person gatherings at our building or outside in the parking lot (4828 NE 33rd Ave.). Capacity is limited to 25 people inside and 50 outside as we will be observing all protocols for faith gatherings set by the Oregon Health Department and our Governor.

*When gathering in small groups, we recommend that you adhere to the current state and local guidelines on social/physical distancing.

GROUPS

We are encouraging those who are ready and comfortable to gather as a group (Gospel Community) for both Sunday worship outdoors or in homes. Our Gospel Community will also gather on Wednesday evenings at 7pm both in person and online. Currently we are going through a series on Racial Reconciliation called Undivided.

If you are comfortable gathering in person and would like to be connected with others so you can worship together, please fill out this form. When gathering in small groups, we recommend that you adhere to the current state and local guidelines on social/physical distancing.

TABLES

Tables are a place to deepen our understanding of Jesus, remind each other of our identity, connect as friends, and pray together. These groups are practically Covid-proof as they are 2-3 people of the same gender meeting with the purpose to grow deeper in relationship with God and one another and can gather anywhere. While not required these groups have the freedom to continue to gather and may even need to become a bigger emphasis as we continue with Covid restrictions. To learn more about Tables go here. If you would like help getting started or connected with others to start one email info@sojournpdx.org

PRAYER RHYTHMS

During October we are having weekly Mid-week Prayer that will be  in-person each week at 7am. This is a powerful time to interrupt our daily rhythm and dedicate our time to God through scripture and prayer.

  • Mid-week Prayer - For those comfortable we will gather and pray every Wednesday in person with location announced weekly and we invite those who cannot gather in person to join us through prayers posted on our FB community page.

**Please follow appropriate social distancing guidelines for those gathering in person.
