worship gathering health protocols
Updated May 18, 2022
introduction
Throughout the pandemic, we have taken our responsibility to love our neighbors by helping slow the spread of Covid-19 seriously. From March 2020 to August 2021, we had five in-person worship gatherings and they were all outdoors. Since resuming indoor in-person worship, we have continued to adapt our protocols, in accordance with the guidance of experts, to prioritize public health.
protocols
Currently, masks are recommended at our Sunday gatherings. Since the city is seeing a high level of Covid-19 community spread at this time, we are recommending masks on Sundays in step with NYC public health guidance.
Pleas stay home if you are ill or if you are quarantining due to infection or exposure to Covid-19. If you are feeling unwell or have recently been exposed to Covid-19, please join us online from home. We ask everyone to adhere to the most recent CDC guidelines and not to attend in-person events until completing recommended isolation or quarantine protocols.
In TGC Kids, we have added a class to reduce the number of children in the preschool classroom. The classes are now: 1-2 year olds | 3-4 year olds | Grades Kâ1 | Grades 2â5. We will continue running HEPA air purifiers and practicing good hand hygiene. If your child is experiencing symptoms associated with Covid-19, please do not bring them to in-person worship.
We have made all seating in the auditorium available. This allows room for spacing as desired between households.
Individually wrapped communion containers are be available. You can find them at each communion station alongside the bread and the cup.
Cleaning and sanitizing. High touch surfaces are cleaned and sanitized before the service. Hand sanitizer is available to all attendees.
