Welcome to The Blessing HouseDear friends of The Blessing House,
These are extraordinarily difficult times. In times of crisis and uncertainty, peace is a precious commodity and no peace is more precious than the peace God gives us through His son. Our hope right now is to be a light in the darkness, a reservoir of His peace and a sanctuary where all people can come and experience encouragement, prayer, a quiet place to reflect and the unconditional love of Jesus. We are excited to tell you that starting Monday June 8, our doors will be reopen. The gardens are blooming and God's creation is vividly on display! Our mission at The Blessing House remains "Creating Spaces God to Work." In light of COVID-19, we've been busy preparing our spaces to be a loving and protective barrier to sickness - to the best of our ability. So that you know what to expect, we wanted to share an overview of the changes we've made. All that said, the Perfect love of Christ, casts out fear. So, be assured that we're honoring the health and safety guidelines but rest in the ultimate security of our Lord and Savior. OUR COMMITMENT We want all our guests to feel confident when they return and have made some adjustments to the operations of The Blessing House as part of our commitment to the heath and safety of everyone who walks through the front door. CAPACITY AND HOURS For now, the total number of visitors in the Blessing House at any one time is 10 and our new hours are Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm. We ask that you call ahead or go online to make a reservation. Michon or Judy will let you know what our availabilities are. We anticipate these restrictions on capacity and hours evolving as we move through the summer and into fall. DISTANCING We have provided floor markers that allow for 6 feet of separation while guests are entering the house and throughout the main level. We have also rearranged the furniture inside and out so you don't have to. MASKS We care deeply about your health and for this reason are requiring the use of face masks for staff and guests to help protect against the spread of germs. Please bring your mask when you come. HEALTHY STAFF AND GUESTS We will adhere to the state of Minnesota guidelines for screening our staff prior to work. These include an infrared temperature check upon arrival and monitoring of overall health and exposure. When you make a reservation, the office will send you a document covering our Staying Safe Practices. You will be asked to read through, sign and return. We've done our best to make this quick and easy through the use of SignNow technology. HANDWASHING Guests have access to soap and water in the bathrooms and hand sanitizers have been placed throughout the house. Thank you J. Carver Distillery for your generous donation. CONTINUAL CLEANING We remain committed to keeping the Blessing House both welcoming and clean. We've instituted new sanitizing regimens, including enhanced cleaning of high-touched surfaces throughout the day and a deep clean every evening upon close. FOOD AND BEVERAGES We have temporarily stopped serving coffee and tea but you're welcome to bring your own drinks, food and utensils. We will have bottled water available. We are all excited to welcome you back. We remain honored to serve you and our Lord. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
