Reopening for Worship
We are now holding in person services.
Saturday worship begins at 5pm. Sunday worship starts at 10:45 am.
Following the recommendations of the CDC and the recent executive order signed by Governor Pritzker on February 28, 2022, the mask requirement has been lifted for most indoor gatherings in the state of Illinois. Salem has followed and will continue to follow these guidelines. Based on this executive order of the governor and CDC recommendations, the Church Council has decided that masks will no longer be required in the building. However, the Council strongly recommends that masks be worn while in the building. We will continue to have people sign in for worship or other events in case there is a need for contact tracing. If after attending a function at Salem you test positive for Covid, please notify the church office so we can proceed with contact tracing. We want to continue doing everything possible to keep everyone who walks through the doors of Salem as safe as possible. Thank you for your support during this time. We continue to hope and pray that county-level community transmission and cases of Covid continue to decrease. We encourage people to get vaccinated. This follows Jesus’ commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves. (Matthew 22:39)
We will continue to record worship services and post them online on Salem’s Facebook page and on YouTube.
