As long as schools in the City of Clinton are in person, Saint Paul will worship in-person, in-the-building.
There will be one short service of holy communion at the usual time, 9:15am. It will be livestreamed on YouTube. Here is what you can expect.

Entering and navigating the building
A greeter will meet you outside. They will welcome you, ask you how you're feeling today, give you a mask if you need one, and ask you to put on your mask. They will briefly remind you of precautions. They will also open the door for you, or, in the case of the bank-side door, ensure the door handle is clean.
If you approach by the parking lot door, the greeter may ask if you'd be willing to walk around the building. Either to the left to the old front doors, or to the right to the bank-side door. The goal is to spread people out as much as possible.
Hand sanitizer will be just inside the door.
After you enter, proceed directly to the sanctuary and find a seat. (Or the bathroom, then the sanctuary.) The lounge will be closed, and there will be no coffee. Maintain safe distance from others outside your household. Fellowship outside only, please!
Pick up communion and leave your offering as you enter the sanctuary. Communion is prepackaged, juice and wafer together. Keep it until we all commune together.
Places to sit in the pews will be marked: the ends of each open pew will be available. Up to two households can sit per open pew, one at either end, with at least six feet distance between separate households.

What worship will be like
Brief: 20 to 30 minutes long. There will be communion, taken together from our places in the pews. There will be music but no congregational singing. There may be distanced singers in solos or duets. Worshipers will be encouraged to hum or clap along. This worship will be livestreamed, and available from St. Paul’s website, YouTube and Facebook pages, and Instagram.
