Welcome Home

Check here for the most recent updates
​about Englewood UMC's plan for reopening!

While we are so excited to begin gathering in person again, we want to urge everyone to proceed with caution and wise discernment. Church leadership is making decisions about reopening with the primary goal of keeping our church family safe and healthy, and we encourage each of you to make decisions about returning based on your own comfort level. Here are our plans for in-person gatherings at this time:

Beginning November 29, 2020

On this First Sunday of Advent, the Sunday of Hope, Englewood UMC will begin offering the option for in-house worship in our sanctuary. We are excited about this opportunity to once again gather for worship in our traditional worship space, which is so holy and sacred to so many of us! However, this continues to be a time of concern about spreading the COVID-19 virus, as well as other illnesses that are common at this time of year, so we are asking for your support and agreement to follow the guidelines set out below for returning to worship. 

EUMC's COVID-19 Response Team has developed this list of guidelines for returning to in-sanctuary worship on Sundays. These guidelines are believed to be the best way that we can gather in-person and keep all participants as safe as possible while we join together in worship. Please also view the following video to get an idea of what is expected when you come to worship on November 29 and moving forward. 

​Click here to register for worship each week. (Registering ahead of time will help us to prepare enough seating while maintaining safe distancing. Thank you for your help with this!)

Beginning September 13, 2020

Starting on this date, Englewood UMC will move from online-only worship services to in-person outdoor worship services on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. on the Bell Tower Lawn of the church. These services will be recorded and posted here each week for those who are unable to attend. We ask that those who attend these outdoor services bring your own chair, space yourselves out on the lawn to provide for social distancing, and wear your mask when coming and going and talking with one another. We look forward to seeing you for worship!

We are continuing to host gatherings for our small groups for Bible study, fellowship, and prayer!
View our schedule for small group gatherings below.

Beginning June 1, 2020

  • Worship services will continue to be posted online each week. Due to ongoing concerns about the safety of large group gatherings, we will not be gathering for in-person worship at this time. Find our online worship by clicking here.
  • Small groups will begin gathering for Bible study and fellowship at designated times in the EUMC Fellowship Hall. Each Sunday School class has a day and time for gathering, and we encourage everyone to participate in these opportunities, even if you haven't been part of a Sunday School class before. 
Here is the schedule for these small group gatherings:
  • Sunday at 5:00 p.m. - Youth Group
  • Monday at 10:00 a.m. - Aldersgate Class
  • Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. - Seekers Class
  • Thursday at 4:30 p.m. - Wesleyan Friendship Class
  • Our Koinonia Class is continuing to meet via Zoom on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. All are welcome to join! 

Safety Precautions

To ensure the safety and health of ALL members of the EUMC family, please adhere to the following precautions when attending gatherings at Englewood UMC for the time being:
  • Masks should be worn by all participations.
  • Social distancing should be observed. Everyone is expected to keep a space of at least 6 feet between unrelated individuals, and to refrain from "touching" behaviors such as hugging, handshakes, etc.
  • Access to the church facility is limited to the Fellowship Hall, the connecting hallway, and restrooms. Our cleaning crew will be cleaning and sanitizing these areas only before and after each gathering. 
​
Here's a video to walk you through some of the precautions we're taking to make gathering safe for everyone:

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
