THIS SUNDAY.

CHILDREN'S FALL/WINTER MINISTRY.

After much prayer and discussion we have decided to begin the process of tentatively re-opening our physical building downstairs for our Kidz Ministires on October 4th 2020.  We realize there will continue to be a wide range of emotions and opinions about these ministries gathering in-person again.  Some families may not want to gather in-person at this time while others have been ready for several weeks.  Therefore, we will need to extend much grace to one another throughout this process.  We look forward to what God will do in the coming months!

AGE GROUP - UP TO 5TH GRADE.

As a way to align our church's family ministries with the format of most local schools and to better serve our families, we are restructuring our Children's and Youth Ministries. Our Children's ministry will now include nursery to 5th grade, and our Youth Ministry will cover 6th to 12th grade. However, if you have questions or concerns with you upcoming 6th grader in this transition, Pastor B and Pastor Monty are available to help.

OUR POLICES DURING COVID-19.

• Wash or Sanitize hands before entering the children's area.

• Facemasks are required while in church at all times, unless seated.

• Facemasks are also required while singing.

• 6 foot social distancing

• Volunteers are required to wear facemasks.

• Children must remain in assigned seats unless given permission to move.

• We will sit 'family units' (siblings who live in the same household) together when possible.

• Children will receive their own 'supply kit' for the day, and we have eliminated activities that involve close interaction between other children.

• As with our current adult offering policy, we will not pass the offering plates.

• If and when any snacks are served, they will be individually packaged for each child.

• Tables, Chairs, and Restroom surfaces, etc., will be wiped and disinfected between each service and children's ministry session.

• No childcare for Nursery or Pre-School will available; Kids' programs are available only for grades K-5. The children's sessions are at 9:30 and 11am service hours. Because seating is limited due to distancing requirements, a child may only attend one children's ministry session per Sunday.

• Please check your child(ren) in at our check-in-station. We will require a temperature check (wrist meter), before admitting your child to downstairs children's ministry. We cannot check anyone in with a temperature of 100 degrees or higher.

• Because of our COVID-19 prevention policies, we will close down the entrance to the children's area 15 minutes after each service begins.  If your child arrives after the 15 minute time 'window', they must stay upstairs with you.

• Parents will pick-up their child(ren) downstairs, immediately after the conclusion of the service. We need the time to sanitize and prepare for the next group of children.
