Praise God! With recent changes to public health and much prayer, the Children’s ministry is happy to announce that the Sunday School Program is ready to begin meeting in-person starting May 1st!
After two years of being online, we are so thankful we have been able to continue to meet online with more than 40 children each week and that Our Heavenly Father has faithfully blessed our children’s Sunday School program during that time.
We are thrilled that we are in a position to begin meeting in-person again. Coming back and meeting in-person is so important to our church and to our children’s ministry volunteers.
We want to support families (including our teacher volunteers) to be able to start returning to in-person worship. While online was great, engaging and learning in person is simply a much more interactive, personal and fun experience. Reconnecting and fellowshipping with one another is important to building relationships within our church family.
We understand this is a big change, so to help families with transitioning back to meeting in person, we will do a phased return to meeting in-person. This means for 7 weeks, we will temporarily offer our Sunday School program both in-person and online.
As you can imagine, conducting Sunday School in-person and online at the same time will not be a simple task and will require a number of safety measures and temporary changes to our program to make this work.
We want to assure parents - safety is our top priority for your children and our volunteers. So a few safety protocols we want to highlight are:
Reduced capacity to allow for social distancing;
Which means registration and screening will be required;
HEPA filters will be installed in each room in the basement;
and similar to the in-person service here, the mask requirement is extended to all children and teachers.
Please keep an eye out for our email announcement. Details will be emailed out to parents (and posted on our website) later this week.
感謝神,隨著最近公共衛生政策的改變,我們很高興地宣布,教會的兒童主日學將從5月1日開始,回到教堂舉行現場實體聚會。我們相信,面對面的學習和互動對我們的孩子非常重要,是網上學習無法替代的。這是一個巨大的改變,我們將有步驟地逐步回歸到面對面的現場主日學。從5月1日到6月12日,將有7周的時間,我們將同時提供在線的兒童主日學和現場實體的兒童主日學。從6月19日開始,我們將只提供現場實體的兒童主日學,不再提供網上兒童主日學。
為確保孩子的安全,所以我們將實施以下安全措施:
(1)減少教室的人數容量以保持社交距離;
(2)需要事先註冊報名才能參加現場主日學;
(3)我們將在地下室的各房間安裝HEPA空氣過濾器;
(4)所有參加主日學的孩子和老師都必須戴口罩。
請密切關注我們的電子郵件通知。詳情將于本周晚些時候通過電子郵件發送給家長(幷在教會的網站上公布)。請大家為此代禱。
