We are opening back up… well kind of...
Nursery - The nursery will be closed until further notice. It is not safe for kids 2 and under to wear a mask and they do not understand social/physical distancing. With that being said, if you do see a child in the nursery, it might be the child of an essential worker needed to provide worship (such as a worship leader or church staff). They have been (or will be) notified of the necessary precautions and procedures expected to keep everyone safe.
KIDS (3yrs old-4th grade) - We will be staying virtual with this age group for our Wednesday “Kid’s Bible Club” and Sunday School Packets; however, Sunday morning worship is open in-person to join as a family and as you feel comfortable, as long as it is safe for you and your family to follow the guidelines listed on the church opening policies page. I will be giving a Children’s Message in Worship; however, please stay seated with your family and I will talk to you from the front. Catch me for virtual story time on Facebook live at 4:30pm on Wednesday’s through the summer, and look forward to another packet coming soon with Sunday School activities.
Youth (5th-12th Grade) - Although much different than our usual youth gatherings, this summer we will be hosting youth group on the lawn… “Youth On the Lawn.” We gather on the church’s grass lawn on the corner of 13th street and Brady for a prepacked dinner, no touch games, and socially distanced devotion. I feel passionate about providing a safe place mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally so we are gathering in person to catch up and share life together while staying 6ft apart and while there is still day light happening so our walkers can get home before dark. We gather Wednesdays from 5:30pm-6:30pm. Rain location is in the side room at SkateChurch. Masks are not required since we are outside, however, please feel free to do what is best for you. Stay tuned for announcements through our Facebook page, Snapchat, and Instagram.
SKATECHURCH - SkateChurch is open every Wednesday 5pm-9pm, Friday 6pm-10pm, and Saturday 5pm-9pm. Students are welcome to come hang out even if you do not have wheels to ride. We have some board games, pool, concessions, and some really great people to spend time with ;). Wednesdays it’s $2 entrance fee and weekends it’s $4. PLEASE NOTE we do require a waiver to be signed by your adult guardian in person. Also note that with our new insurance, bikes are not allowed (for the time being).
We are excited to be slowly but surely opening back up and continue to pray that everyone stays safe. Please contact me at megank@stjohnsumcdav.org if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Stay strong and be well!
Many Blessings,
