PARKING
As we prepare to worship together during 86th Holy Gathering (2026 State Assembly), here are a few things that we want you to keep in mind, which we believe will help keep you, your family, and friends safe during our in-person gatherings.
The parking lot and street parking areas may be the furthest thing from your mind. It’s much more exciting to think about the anticipated move of God during each session. However, we must do all that we can to ensure you stay in the know. Each person should:
1. Not leave any personal items in your automobiles at any time.

SANITATION
As we prepare to worship together during our 86th Holy Gathering (2026 State Assembly), here are a few things that we want you to keep in mind, that we believe will help keep you, your family and friends safe during our in-person gatherings.
Sanitation is Paramount when attending our services.
We practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces for example: tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks, microphones, pews, chairs and the like) with household cleaners and EPA-registered disinfectants that are appropriate for the surface, following label instructions. Labels contain instructions for safe and effective use of the cleaning product including precautions you should take when applying the product, such as wearing gloves and making sure you have good ventilation during use of the product. We use technologically advanced, professional electrostatic sprayers to deliver a safe, effective shield of a hospital-grade disinfectant over all surfaces, after each gathering.
