Church Work

 We are planning on reopening Church on Palm Sunday, the 28th at 11 AM,  We have been having services on ZOOM every Sunday at 11AM on Computers and phones,  We still will also have ZOOM when we have In House Worship !  The requirements from New York State require some type of protection between the speakers and the congregation so they are protected.  As a Member of the Board of Trustees and only Man on the Board It was "delegated" to me to do something !

.

I decided the easiest way and cost effective way to do this separation was with Acrylic, so I set off and "Got Er Done" !

.

.
Working on the Speakers/Lay Readers Podium I had to predrill the Acrylic and then match those holes and drill the Podium to match, i was careful so when this Covid Mess is over I can remove this sheet and fill and stain the holes !
.
.
Shield installed and Does not look bad and will work so speaker does not have to wear a Mask when Reading or Speaking as they had to do before the Plastic shield installed.
.
.
I installed the Acrylic on the Pastors Pulpit and you can barely see it as the lighting is less and does not reflect as much,  It works for our Pastor Kelly who is standing behind it !
.
.
The last item to work on was the Shield for our Vocalist as we are only allowed 1 singer,  I installed a sheet of Acrylic onto the Music Stand and used Clips to secure it, this allows the shield to be raised or lowered depending upon who is singing on Sunday !
.
Job Done and was inspected by Nurse and she gave us the OK to go ahead,  we can have 31 People in Church for Services and if need be we will have 2 Services per Sunday till restrictions ease up !

If any business has increased during the pandemic it is the Acrylic producers!!!!!!!
Looks good, but seems a waste of time and money since the distance is more than six feet for the speaker. However some of our 'fundamental' preachers down south could throw some droplets OVER six feet! LOL

BUT but ANYTHING to start returning to normal.

And it is a logical way to come into compliance that will not be a permanent problem.
Love to you guys
