NO YOUTH THIS WEEK!
SEE YOU NEXT SUNDAY!
THIS WEEK since the current, active Youth Counselors are headed to Lake Junaluska to attend Chris & Michaela’s wedding we will all be out of town. We don’t typically cancel like this, but this is a special occasion! We WILL meet next week, so we hope to see on Sunday, May 30!
In the meantime, take a look at the changes regarding our COVID response below. We are trying to keep up with the rapidly changing rules and safety protocols to keep everyone safe, healthy and COVID-free! Thanks for your patience over the last year and hopefully “NORMAL” is right around the corner!
COVID-RELATED STATEMENT (UPDATED MAY 23, 2021)
WE ARE COMMITTED TO BEING SAFE…
Here are a few changes that we are making at Youth Group in order to continue to be reasonable and responsible toward our COVID-19 response. Please read the following and feel free to contact me with any questions:
VACCINES: First of all, you need to know that all of the adult counselors are currently FULLY VACCINATED for COVID-19. This means that when you attend Youth Group here, you know that we take your health seriously and try to maintain a safe environment. Along with this, if you are a youth who has been vaccinated, you will no longer be required to wear a mask. We are not checking vaccination cards or policing whether you are being truthful or not, but we do as that you continue to wear a mask if you are not vaccinated. We simply hope that you will be honest and respectful of your fellow youth group members!
MASKS/FACE SHIELDS: First See Above Statement entitled “Vaccines”. If you have NOT been Vaccinated — Wear a face covering! (That means covering your mouth AND your nose!!!) Whatever you are wearing at school, wear them at Youth Group. If you do not have one or forget to bring one, we can provide one for you! PLEASE don’t make us keep asking you to put one on or “pull it up” its a drag for us and you probably don’t like being told what to do, either!
OUTDOORS: We will continue to plan activities that will be experienced outdoors! Fortunately, we are in the summer months and the weather will be warm and HOPEFULLY DRY! (water to drink will be provided)
