Rodman’s Response to Coronavirus

Dear Rodman Family:

We would like to start off by sharing that your health, welfare, and safety always remain our utmost concern. As you are anticipating visiting the church for service or meetings, we anticipate that you may have questions about our efforts to manage Coronavirus (COVID-19).

We want you to feel confident, whenever you visit, that all our actions are focused on your health-well-being and comfort. Here a just a few items we want you to be aware of:

– When you visit the church, be assured that commonly used areas and items such as desks, pews, chairs, door handles, bathrooms are being disinfected on a continual basis throughout the day. Additionally, hand sanitizers are present in all areas and all floors.

– Our facilities staff has cleaned the church prior to your visit with disinfectant and multi-purpose cleaner, bleach utilizing disposable wipes instead of reusable cloths.

– We will refrain from hugging, kissing and shaking hands.

We have some tips on how to adjust effectively:
