The church said that two out of every three pews are closed off with such signs, the church said they are allowing only 100 people inside the church at a time despite being able to seat 1000.

“Most watch on live stream instead. Not perfect, and a lot of extra work, but we’re trying our best to be safe and to worship the Lord,” the church said in its post.

In a statement given to the media Church said, “In this way, we keep more than ten feet distance between households. The signs were just a way to inject some levity and humor into this tense time with lots of unfamiliar and unnatural feeling new needed boundaries.”
