Dear El Mesias Family, 

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ! 

I am excited to announce we will start Onsite Worship on 

Sunday, November 1st, at 11:00 AM, Praise God! 

In order to best serve you and our community, and comply with the safest of  health recommendations, we will follow these guidelines: 

1. Limiting access to only the sanctuary building 
 

2. Wear face mask at all times (including children) 
 

3. Temperatures will be taken before entering the sanctuary 
 

3. Practice social distancing (keep 6 feet apart) 
 

4. Use hand sanitizer regularly 
 

5. No printed materials (hymnals, bibles, bulletins, etc.) 
 

6. An offering basket will be centrally located at the altar  

​

7. Childcare room will not be available 
 

8. Communion will be served using individually wrapped elements

​

9. No coffee/refreshments will be served 
 

10. Ushers will guide congregants to the pews and when exiting.  The ushers are available all morning during the service. 

I would like to remind you that if you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms  (fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, headaches, aches and pains, runny nose,  sore/scratchy throat, fatigue, and diarrhea), it is imperative that you participate in Online Worship at home only as a sign of love for your fellow brothers and  
sisters at El Mesias UMC. 


Online Worship will continue to be broadcast every Sunday at 11:00 AM on Facebook live and you may continue to send your offering and tithes to El  Mesias’ P. O. Box 30097, Houston, TX 77249-0097. 
I look forward to seeing you Onsite and Online! 


Peace and grace, 
Jose A. Cortinas
