Auditorium Seating For Church

RALEIGH-On the first Christmas, the Holy Family was turned away for no reservations. It looks like in 2020, many North Carolina people who have no reservations during Christmas will also find themselves in the cold. Because the church tried to prevent the spread and comply with government regulations.

There are thousands of churches in North Carolina, and each church is facing uncharted territory this year-gathering their congregations for the busiest service of the year while keeping them away from society during the pandemic. For churches of many sizes, this means being completely virtualized by spreading carols, beauty pageants, midnight mass, and all other Christmas events, when there is actually only a skeleton hand wearing a mask.

However, some churches have decided to provide in-person service and proposed a more familiar strategy-RSVP at the dinner party. The church basically provides seats online on a first-come, first-served basis, but for others, who set it up not exactly in line with the holiday spirit, they chose a lottery system and the "winner" participates in Christmas services.

The Altitude Church is located in the Charlotte area and is one of the ten cathedrals in the United States. It will provide services on multiple campuses across the state. On their location page in Uptown Charlotte, you will see a box that says: "Keep your place. Spend Christmas with us? Let us know and we will save you a place "They stated on the COVID-19 page that they "restricted our ability to ensure social distance between the auditorium and upper-class areas" only by using every other row of seats. This social distancing strategy eliminates many conventional seats and increases the need for reservations. 

In southern Charlotte, St. Matthew, the largest Catholic church in the United States, also needs to be preserved. For most years, they have 20,000 people attending Christmas service. "Only at 4 pm on Christmas Eve, we had 4,000 people present during normal hours. However, this is not a normal time." A church representative said in a video on its website. Instead, this year they will only use their Ballantyne campus, and the sanctuary will account for 25% of its capacity.

St. Patrick in the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte, a few miles from St. Matthew, is adding multiple services, but the capacity of each service has decreased. They asked those who wish to participate "to be flexible with the masses we choose and be willing to be assigned a second or even third choice."

Statewide, they also use the lottery system in another Catholic cathedral in North Carolina, the name of Jesus in the Raleigh Catholic Diocese.

The cathedral announced the news and said: "Faithful believers can participate in the lottery and get up to six tickets to one of the crowds. Tickets are general tickets. Participants over two years old must have tickets to enter the cathedral. "

The lottery was completed on December 18, and after several cancellations, they provided additional tickets on a first-come, first-served basis through Eventbrite.

Summit Church is a large evangelical church with campuses around the triangle area. Its pastor JD Greear is the chairman of the influential Southern Baptist Convention. He also requires Muslims. This will be confirmed at the door. They served in advance on December 17 and 20.

The instructions on the summit website require anyone with symptoms of illness to stay at home and note: “You are reserving seats for worship services with an improved seat and have enhanced safety procedures that require you to wear a mask, maintain social distancing, and follow Regulations. Specific entry and exit instructions."

The old church is part of the Southern Baptist Convention, another large multi-campus evangelical church in the triangle, which tells NSJ that they will provide services online and on all four campuses. A campus will require RSVP, while the main campus in the city will have an outdoor "Christmas Eve Walking Service" on the street opposite the Moore Square Church. Participants will travel through "similar to the traditional old-fashioned church Christmas Eve service, which is distant from the society." It will have a variety of songs, scriptures and stories, as well as festival lights, lighting and opportunities for response. "

North Carolina is not all large cathedrals and large churches. Many people in small towns in North Carolina joined more intimate congregations, such as the United Methodist Church. Hope Morgan Ward, bishop of the UMC North Carolina Conference, issued instructions to the church she cared for not to plan indoor gatherings with more than 10 participants during Christmas. This number is the same as the limit set by Governor Roy Cooper for non-religious indoor gatherings.

Ward wrote in the instruction: "Our church is a religious group and can require the governor's guidelines to have legal immunity." "However, our love for our neighbors and concern for their happiness make us urge to exercise restraint in gatherings. Today’s cold weather reminds us that in winter, outdoor gatherings will be more difficult. This virtual gathering is a gift to us so as not to cause harm."

She said: "Even if you live in a place with level 4 restrictions, or your Christmas plans have just fallen into chaos, there is eternal hope and a bright future. I think it really feels obvious when you are there." Conclusion.
